NYU Graduate and Therapist at Wellness Psychotherapy Services
I’m Lara Guida, a dedicated Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and proud graduate of NYU. I specialize in offering telehealth/virtual sessions at Wellness Psychotherapy Services, creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for clients.
Approach to Therapy:
My focus is on empowering clients to understand their experiences, discover strengths, and achieve their potential. The therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and effective journey.
Specialization in Adolescents and Preteens:
With extensive experience working with adolescents (14-19 years-old) and preteens (11-13 years-old), I emphasize the treatment of mood disorders and anxiety. Through a strengths-based, client-focused approach, clients achieve reduced levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Diverse Clinical Experience:
I bring diverse experience in individual therapy, group therapy, and family work across inpatient and outpatient settings. This flexibility allows me to adapt my approach to meet your specific needs.
Therapeutic Modalities:
In my practice, I incorporate various aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, motivational interviewing, and narrative modalities, ensuring a comprehensive and personalized therapeutic experience.
Your Journey to Well-being:
As a new client, you’re in great hands. My experience working with 11-19-year-olds across various populations uniquely positions me to understand and address the challenges of this age group.
Ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, reduced anxiety, and improved well-being? I look forward to working with you, focusing on your specific, unique goals and highlighting your strengths along the way.
