“I offer a very holistic approach with a blend of modalities from Adlerian, Inner Child, IFS, Gottman, Esther Perel, EMDR and attachment theory among others.”

“A Little About My Approach: I come from an Anti-Racist/abolitionist foundation and believe in calling out how systems of racism and oppression affect mental health. As a Queer disabled therapist, both invisible and visible disabilities, I am aware of the importance of a judgment free environment and the way that systems do not often provide this. I use various approaches when working, such as feminist theory, systems, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, relaxation/guided imagery and others. Each session is unique to the person, and I am always in consideration of client's values in regard to cultural identity as well as the client's strengths.”

“My approach is grounded, relational, and trauma informed. Sessions with me feel warm, collaborative, and paced around your nervous system. We move gently while still creating meaningful change. I use EMDR, parts work, and attachment focused care to help you process painful experiences, release what your body has been holding, and build safety within yourself and your relationships. Together we will explore patterns shaped by childhood trauma, religious harm, and survival responses with compassion rather than judgment. I create a non judgmental, LGBTQ+ affirming, neurodivergent affirming space where you can show up fully as you are. Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It is about helping you feel safer in your body, more connected to your needs, and more trusting of yourself.”

“Therapy with me is mostly conversation. I'll listen carefully, ask questions that help you see yourself more clearly, and gently challenge the patterns and beliefs that are keeping you stuck. I bring humor into sessions when it fits, because healing doesn't have to be heavy all the time. My approach draws on several evidence-based methods, weaving together tools that help you understand where you came from, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and build a more flexible relationship with your inner world. I pay close attention to how past experiences shape present struggles, and I tailor my approach to what you actually need rather than following a rigid formula. At the core of everything is the relationship between us. You'll never feel like a checklist to me. I want you to feel seen, respected, and like this is a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment.”

“I provide a non-judgmental environment where every part of your identity is honored and where you can feel safe to be your full self. I hope to support you in exploring the parts of yourself in need of healing or strengthening. I believe in the power of storytelling, and I am here to listen to your story. You are the expert on your life, and I approach the therapeutic process with humility and an open ear. I want to help you find workable solutions and helpful strategies for addressing your challenges.”

“With children, I take child-centered play therapy approach. With adults, I take an acceptance and commitment therapy focus. I am also trauma-informed and trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).”

“A client might arrive having spent the previous week texting someone who has not responded in days, recount walking out of a board meeting because the pull toward a sexual encounter felt impossible to override, or admit they have not spoken to another person in months because nothing outside their fantasy relationship feels worth the risk. Many carry shame about what they have done or consented to, and some have spent so long feeling that choice was never truly available to them. Dr. Lapite-Garrett builds choice into every part of the work. Clients decide the pace, whether a session moves toward the presenting behavior, the emotional pattern underneath it, or the original wound driving both. Regulation comes first, for the body and for the mind, so that deeper processing has a solid foundation to land. Coping skills, psychoeducation, harm reduction, urge surfing, moderation support, and exposure work are woven in throughout, always matched to what is actually effective for that specific person rather than applied from a standard protocol.”

“My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-responsive. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and understood. I tailor treatment to each person’s needs, goals, and stage of life, using a holistic and strengths-based lens. Depending on the client, I may integrate adoption focused skills, DBT-informed skills, CBT strategies, mindfulness, psychoeducation, attachment-based work, trauma-informed care, and expressive or play-based interventions. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build practical coping tools, strengthen relationships, and move toward healing and growth at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.”

“My approach is compassionate, collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw from CBT, mindfulness-based CBT, TF-CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused strategies. I tailor treatment to each client’s needs, values, communication style, and pace rather than expecting every client to fit the same method.”

“My approach is active, compassionate, trauma-informed, and direct. I balance warmth with challenge, helping clients feel deeply seen while also supporting real movement toward change. Sessions often include EMDR, ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, attachment work, parts-informed work, CBT, DBT, ACT, and relational therapy. I believe deeper trauma work often needs more time than the standard 50-minute model, so I primarily offer extended sessions, usually 90 minutes or longer. My work focuses on helping clients move beyond insight and into embodied change, at a pace that respects their nervous system.”

“Individualized treatment for anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma-related concerns, emotion dysregulation, and other psychological difficulties. Psychological and behavioral interventions addressing health-related concerns that affect daily functioning and quality of life. Applied psychological strategies to help individuals function more effectively and perform at their best across academic, athletic, professional, and everyday settings. Individualized care for complex presentations that require a nuanced, comprehensive, or specialized approach. Areas of care may include treatment-resistant conditions, complex comorbidity, developmental transitions, failure-to-launch concerns, and other presentations that do not fit neatly within a single diagnostic category. Specialized services include Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), where clinically appropriate.”

“My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should be intentional, structured, and goal-oriented. From the beginning of treatment, I collaborate with clients to clarify what meaningful change would look like and develops a focused plan on how each session will works towards achieving these goals. While every client’s timeline is different, I do not approach therapy as a “forever” process, I believes significant growth can occur quickly when work is clear, collaborative, and purpose-driven.”
