Are you noticing changes in your child’s behavior—anger, isolation, or risky choices—or feeling stuck yourself? I’m here to help. Life can feel overwhelming, whether you're a teenager navigating intense emotions, an adult juggling responsibilities, or a family striving to find balance. As a Texas state board-certified supervisor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR-trained therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma therapist, I work with clients ages 5 to 99, helping them break through barriers and rediscover joy. From building trust with teens to guiding adults through trauma and life transitions, I create a safe space for healing.
With 20 years experience in the field, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strengths Perspective, Person-Centered Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Suicide Prevention, EMDR, Psychotherapy, and Inner Childhood Work. Find out more by visiting me at LaraYatesTherapy dot com.
I have written suicide and safety plans, as well as risk assessments that multiple ISD’s currently use as part of their curriculum and intervention process. Therapy can be intimidating and scary, especially for teenagers. My office is a safe place, allowing them to navigate through their emotions without feeling as if they are broken, needing to be fixed.
