Lara Alkurdi(She/Her/Hers)

If your mind never shuts off, you overanalyze everything, and you feel emotionally exhausted from pretending you’re okay — you’re not broken, you’re burned out. I work with people who are stuck in their heads, trapped in anxiety, and tired of living on edge. People who look functional on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and mentally drained. I specialize in anxiety, overthinking, relationship issues, and identity struggles. My approach is not surface-level talk therapy. We get honest about your patterns, your triggers, your defense mechanisms, and the ways you learned to survive.

My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment-based interventions. This means we focus on understanding the connection between your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns while also strengthening your ability to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and communicate your needs.

This is not a space for judgment or shame. It’s a space for truth. You don’t have to be polite here. You don’t have to be “easy to work with.” You get to be real, angry, confused, guarded, and honest. We focus on nervous system regulation, emotional boundaries, and breaking cycles that keep you stuck in survival mode.
