Larisa Wade

My communication style

I am open and transparent about my thoughts. I want therapy to feel collaborative and believe that a genuine relationship is important, regardless of the treatment modality. I have been described as warm, caring, and thoughtful. I value cultural humility and have a deep respect for my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was originally drawn to therapy because of my lived experience with mental health recovery. My desire to understand my own experience developed into a lifelong interest in helping others. I believe that my lived experience helps me maintain a compassionate and non-pathologizing stance.

My goals for you

Some therapy goals are best met through active listening; others require problem-solving and skill development; many require specialized treatment approaches such as EMDR or ERP. Once I understand what your goals are, I'll identify how I can most effectively support your growth.

Our first session

My goal for our first session is to understand who you are, where you're going, and how I can be of assistance on your journey. I'll provide information about confidentiality and ask questions about common concerns such as depression and generalized anxiety. I hope to see you soon!
