Maritza Lara(She/Her/Hers)

If you’ve ever felt guilty for living your life, carried generational trauma, or held the weight of eldest daughter expectations, you’re not alone. As a Latina therapist, I create a warm, culturally aware space where first-gen individuals can unpack the pressure to be “enough” and finally breathe. Your healing honors where you come from—and makes room for where you’re going.

I offer flexible, tailored therapy using DBT, CBT, Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches. I specialize in Trauma, OCD, and Mood Disorders, providing a non-judgmental, safe space to empower clients in achieving lasting change and personal growth.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and for many, even a little intimidating, reaching out for help takes courage, and I deeply respect that. I strive to create a space that is non-judgmental, open, and compassionate. If you're struggling, know that you're not alone—and I'm here, ready to support you with care and understanding.
