Lara Hanaford, LMHC, LCPC

The relationship between clinician and client is integral in order to build the  collaborative partnership I believe is needed to support growth and positive change for clients. I strive to build this relationship by providing a warm, inclusive and comfortable environment for sessions. I believe my role is to collaborate with clients and help them find as well as work through possible solutions to mitigate their symptoms. My approach is tailored to each client utilizing multiple techniques such as cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, person centered and relational. 

I am currently licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. I am also a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maine, which enables me to provide services to residents of Maine as well as Massachusetts. My experience includes work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families in both outpatient and community based settings. I am especially interested in working with new parents or adults struggling with life transitions and couples regarding marriage issues, co-parenting struggles or family conflict.
