Therapy with a graduate-level counseling intern 

A cost-effective way to get high-quality care

I’m excited to have Lara Hardy-Braz and Anna Love joining my practice as clinical interns from Northwestern’s Master’s in Counseling program, available for individual therapy for adults with immediate openings. Lara and Anna share my passion for mental health care that sees you as a whole person, and they bring curiosity, openness, and enthusiasm to their work.

Doing therapy with a master’s level intern means you get a level of attention and care that’s not always possible in busier practices.  As trainees, Lara and Anna are surrounded by seasoned professionals who are all here to support their work with you - individual guidance and group supervision from professors at Northwestern University and direct supervision by me - ensuring that you get therapy with multiple perspectives and up to date approaches.  Bypassing the insurance maze for a low out of pocket fee means you receive high quality mental health support without breaking the bank, and no diagnosis goes on your medical record.

If you’re interested in working with Lara or Anna, contact us for a free phone consultation!

Lara Hardy-Braz

“Are you looking for clarity or greater understanding?  Do you want to learn more about yourself or process situations or relationships that linger and affect your everyday life?  Are you seeking to build coping skills, reduce anxiety, or become more confident in who you are?  If any of these apply to you, welcome!  I’m a current Counseling Master’s clinician in training at Northwestern University.  I pride myself on creating a safe space where people of all backgrounds can discuss what’s been on their minds.

”My approach is influenced by Person-Centered and Psychodynamic therapies, and I’m particularly interested in how movement and mindfulness can influence the healing process.  People often feel calmer, clearer, more settled, and more confident to take on everyday life and relationships through the insights and skills gained in therapy.”

  • Stress

  • Life transitions
