Lara H.
Couples Therapist, LCSW
Washington, DC
ABOUT
Hi, I’m Lara and I specialize in helping couples communicate better, discuss difficult topics in effective ways, heal from relationship betrayal, or just start working like a team again. I have been married for 26 years, so I have personal experience navigating relationship challenges. I have worked with couples in all stages: from those who are just starting out and are looking to build a good foundation to those who are determining how to navigate retirement together.
I principally work from the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, but draw from a variety of theories and approaches including Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment work, and neurobiology. I believe strongly that we heal fastest in relationship and that couples push each other to grow. I work to support and promote healing growth in each partner so that you can create a more vibrant, honest, peaceful relationship.
