A Journey of Healing & Compassion
Lara Dietrich
LCSW, Psychotherapist
I’m Lara Dietrich, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a dedicated psychotherapist in York, PA. I’ve been practicing psychotherapy for over 22 years, working with individuals and couples to help them heal emotionally and mentally.
My Practice,
Beacon of Inner Healing,
was inspired by my quirky dog, Beacon, whose guiding light continues to influence my life and work today.
Beacon
Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, I am here to provide a compassionate, person-centered approach to healing, rooted in both traditional and holistic practices.
My
Professional Journey
My journey into psychotherapy began over two decades ago, working for a large non-profit. I started as a therapist just two years after graduation in the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program and later became Program Director. In 2014, I decided to open my private practice, focusing on creating a personalized experience for every client I work with.
Over the years, I’ve specialized in working with trauma survivors, helping them process their experiences through EMDR therapy, a proven method for treating PTSD and other trauma-related conditions. My practice also incorporates integrated medicine, ensuring that all aspects of mental, emotional, and physical health are considered.
I meet you where you are and help guide you to where you want to be.
