Dr. Lazar facilitates individual, family and couples counseling. He works with adults who are coping with depression, loss, anxiety, and worry and those who have present or childhood stressors that have made it hard to feel good about themselves or enjoy life. He also works extensively with kids, teens and parents to help families get along better and cooperate for everyone's benefit. In addition to working with children who misbehave, he helps kids who get sad, angry or worry excessively. He treats his clients as teammates to brainstorm solutions to challenges, and help clients also see their blessings.
Dr. Lazar believes that family and society influence and limit how we view ourselves and our relationships. However, our past does not have to determine our future. He uses his sense of humor in a supportive environment to apply cognitive psychology and family systems concepts to help people enjoy life more.
Meeting with Dr. Lazar is a collaborative conversation that will increase your ability to build positives rather than obsess on negatives. You will smile and laugh as you learn to deal with challenges. We'll put our heads together, brainstorm options, clarify your strengths and help you grow from adversity.
