Dr. Flora Elizabeth Lazar, PhD, LCSW, is dedicated to supporting individuals through the various transitions and challenges they face in life. For those seeking to make meaningful changes to their personal, professional, or educational lives, Dr. Lazar understands that while the problem may be identifiable, the solution often feels elusive. With her vast life experience as a parent and grandparent, coupled with a multifaceted professional background in mental health, public policy, and academia, she believes that change can be a transformative and enriching process. In her practice, psychotherapy serves as a safe haven where clients can delve into their identities, dreams, values, and fears, without the weight of judgment. Together, she and her clients embark on a journey to uncover why they feel the way they do and how their environments and cultures shape their experiences. Dr. Lazar's approach is rooted in compassion and insightful exploration, providing the support needed for personal growth and a deeper understanding of one's self. She is licensed to practice in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa.
