Lara works with older adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, grief, chronic illness, and existential challenges. She also has particular clinical and research interests in health psychology, including adjustment to serious or chronic illness and the psychological impact of receiving a difficult diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her approach is primarily humanistic and integrative<\/strong>, adapting therapy to each person rather than applying the same framework to everyone. Her work also draws from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives, with an emphasis on helping clients develop greater stability, self-understanding, resilience, and practical ways of navigating difficult periods in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lara provides services in English and French<\/strong> and also speaks conversational Arabic and Spanish. We are very pleased to have her joining Mindsession and expanding the range of experiences and perspectives represented within our clinical team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcoming Lara Kojok to Mindsession We are pleased to welcome Lara Kojok to the Mindsession team.
