“I hold space for the conversations you’ve been too afraid to have.”

A special message to clients from Kristina Lazarus, RMHCI

Book an appointment now!

Meet our newest counselor, Kristina Lazarus!

Does life ever feel like scattered pieces you can’t quite put together? Many of us hide behind masks to avoid being noticed, while secretly longing to be seen. I create a safe, compassionate space where we can name losses, acknowledge the pain that often goes unspoken, and explore how to live more authentically. Clients have affectionately called me the “Death Lady” because I welcome conversations about grief, mortality, and the feelings behind not wanting to exist—topics most avoid, but which often hold the key to healing and growth. My practice is rooted in decolonized principles, centering culture, identity, and the systems that shape us, while honoring your unique story.

To support your journey, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy. I also incorporate expressive art therapy, which may include the use of tarot imagery as a symbolic tool for reflection and creative exploration. These methods provide grounding while leaving space for creativity, mystery, and personal wisdom. A wise Guyanese man I once called “grandpa” told me, “Live until you die.” I’ve carried his words forward and added: “Live until you die—even when it is hard, because you deserve to live an authentic human existence.” If you recognize yourself in these words, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can begin piecing your story back together and rediscover what it means to truly live.

KRISTINA'S Client Focus

Kristina is experienced in working with children, teens, and adults.

Kristina's Therapeutic Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

CBT Utilizing the process of thoughts to help one understand their actions and behaviors. This approach helps individuals to  have deeper understanding of themselves while helping them to change and unwanted behavior. 

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

ART is a brief, evidence-based therapy that uses eye movements and guided imagery to help the brain reprocess distressing memories. It allows painful experiences to lose their emotional charge while keeping the facts intact, often leading to rapid relief from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional struggles.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based form of therapy that helps people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve relationships. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques (like identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts) with mindfulness and acceptance strategies.

Existential Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Existential therapy is a reflective, empowering approach that explores life’s deeper questions around meaning, freedom, and identity. It helps you navigate uncertainty, clarify your values, and find purpose, supporting you in living more authentically and fully aligned with what matters most to you.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a psychological treatment that integrates aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices, which are derived from traditional meditation techniques.

Polyvagal Theory Informed

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Polyvagal Theory helps us understand how our nervous system responds to stress, safety, and connection. It explains why we might shut down, feel anxious, or go into “fight or flight” mode—and how we can learn to feel more calm, safe, and connected in our bodies and relationships.

KRISTINA'S Alternative Treatments

PsychoTAROTpy

Psycho-tarot-py is a therapeutic approach that incorporates tarot cards as a framework for self-reflection and insight. Rather than predicting the future, the cards serve as prompts to explore patterns, emotions, and perspectives that may be influencing your life. By working with the imagery and meanings of the cards, you can gain clarity around decision-making, deepen your self-awareness, and discover new ways of understanding challenges and opportunities. This process invites curiosity and reflection, offering a creative pathway toward personal growth and healing.
