About

Lara Maurino, LCSW

Your emotional and physical body often know the truth before your head ever does. We all have instincts, gut feelings, which guide us every day. Many of us also have physical or psychological manifestations (anxiety, stomach issues, obsessive thinking, etc.) that act as barometers in an effort to show us blockages.
The reality is that most of us are not listening to those inner guides. Sometimes it is our heads, or our egos, that are running the show. Sometimes, it is past traumas, shame, or fears that are subconsciously holding us down or in repetitive negative patterns. It hurts and drains us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually when we continuously allow unsettled core issues within ourselves to control us and shut down that inner guidance.


We might be a good match if you…

• Are tired of feeling stuck, not in control, or powerless and would like someone to help you break through your barriers and limitations

• Are ready to experience your relationship with yourself or someone else more deeply and intimately

• Feel that being sensitive is a curse

• Want to ensure your life and your relationship are aligned with your beliefs and behaviors

• Need constructive feedback from a compassionate and objective mentor to hold you accountable for your role in your own life and your relationships

• Recognize that you need to learn a better way of communicating in your relationships

• Are ready to use your relationship as a tool for self-awareness and growth

• Are ready to stop struggling with self-judgment and loathing and start being your own best support

• Have realized that whatever it is you’re doing isn’t working and you are ready for what does

If any of the above resonates with you, we might be a great match for a therapy or coaching session.
Primary Specialty

Clinical Social Worker

Gender Female
Services My work with individuals and couples includes a specialization in communication, relationship issues, shame, vulnerability, self-esteem issues, anxiety/depression, and any barrier to fulfilling one's full potential. I use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies, and take a strengths-based approach to encourage and promote self-awareness and empowerment. My style combines clinical techniques with a holistic perspective that takes into account a body-mind-heart connection. I describe this connection as awareness of health, thoughts, and emotions.

I take a collaborative and interactive approach to therapy. I am as much a teacher as a therapist, and I present the techniques we use in sessions in a way that can be used by you in your daily life. This fosters capability and independence.
