My Approach to Helping
I am Lourdes Ibarra, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) currently practicing telehealth therapy for individuals in Arizona, Colorado, Texas, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
I founded Creating Meaning Counseling to provide support to young adults ages 18 and older in overcoming mental barriers that may be a secondary effect of life stressors, past trauma, and negative core beliefs. Mental barriers can affect one's well-being, goals, and connecting with others.
As a counselor, my focus is on providing a space for individuals who are experiencing psychological barriers that have affected their mindset to growth. Symptoms may include nightmares, fears, dissociation, and flashbacks.. I utilize interventions such as Eye Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The interventions depend on the patient's needs. My goal as a therapist is to work with each individual on getting through those stuck places that trauma brings, helping individuals to make sense of past events and move forward toward a brighter, healthier future.
If you are an individual who is looking for therapy and do not know where to start, you can schedule a free 15-minute consultation. Look forward to hearing from you!
