Leslie Strekel

Therapist

Virtual • Old Lyme, CT


Raised to prioritize the needs of others above my own, deeply influenced by my mother’s own upbringing, I spent decades placing others’ needs ahead of my own as a buffer against my own fears. However, in 2021-2022, faced with one of the most challenging periods of my life, I underwent a transformation and began to find my path forward. I was led to realize that healing doesn't mean fixing oneself but rather rediscovering lost parts. For we are never broken, yet only stuck.

Elizabeth Lara

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
