About Me

I’m Lara Asous, a Registered Marriage & Family Therapist Intern (RMFTI) with 7+ years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples. My work focuses on understanding underlying emotional patterns, not just surface-level symptoms, so that change is practical and long-lasting.

I hold a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Medical Family Therapy. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with EMDR training through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), along with additional training in sex therapy, motivational interviewing, and crisis intervention.

My approach is structured and goal-oriented. Sessions focus on identifying root causes, processing unresolved experiences, and building clear strategies to manage emotions, behaviours, and recurring patterns more effectively.

I integrate EMDR-informed therapy, family systems therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and motivational interviewing based on individual needs. I provide online therapy worldwide in English and Arabic, working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
