About

Hi, I'm LaRae. I am passionate about helping people heal. I have worked with people who have experienced trauma and PTSD, substance-abuse, co-occurring disorders, serious and persistent mental illness, people who self-harm, people involved in the criminal justice system, and people with disabilities. I enjoy working with adults, and children 10 years and older. I understand Spanish and have counseled people whose first language is Spanish. I have personal and counseling experience with Hispanic populations as well as Native American populations. Additionally, I have counseled people involved in relationships with domestic/interpersonal abuse and/or violence. I use an integrative approach. I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, DBT-Dialectional Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, Rogerian Client Centered Approach, Mindfulness, and other evidence-based interventions. I meet people where they are and work with them to help achieve their goals.
