My name is Lara Eisenberg-Hendlish

I came to specialize in trauma, stress management, adolescent years, feminine studies, sexuality, anxiety and depression due to my own personal life experience and the media’s strong negative influence on girls and women (body image, self-esteem and more). I’m a third generation Holocaust survivor which provided me with first hand experience on the detrimental effects of unresolved intergenerational trauma. I believe it’s important, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation etc. to explore our history and the impact our roots have on our present day functioning and the development of a healthy identity.

My Experience:

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®, Somatic Experiencing Training Assistant, Yoga Therapist, Mindfulness Instructor, Neuroaffective Touch® Practitioner and Trauma Touch Therapist. I hold dual master degrees in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University. I have extensive experience and education in stress management, trauma, spirituality, ancestral healing, addiction, anxiety, restoring early attachment wounds, depression, sexuality and restoring the body, mind and spirit connection for females.
