Markovits Counseling

At Markovits Counseling, we believe that while pain is unavoidable in life, suffering is not. Everyone suffers in different ways and for different reasons. Suffering that comes as a result of trauma or mental illnesses can be changed. There is relief. We can help you find that relief. Our team of experienced therapists, led by Lara Markovits, LCSW, offers individual counseling to adults and adolescents (ages 15+) struggling with a wide range of disorders including depression, anxiety, psychosis, PTSD, and personality disorders. We also work with high-risk behaviors, including self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. We believe that every individual has the strength and resilience to overcome their struggles, and we are committed to helping them tap into that strength. Our approach is centered around evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which has been proven effective in treating a range of mental health conditions.
