Dear You Who Are Reading This,
My name is Barbara Lazarony, MA, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with you through these words. My life’s journey has been anything but conventional, and it’s precisely this unconventional path that has shaped the compassionate, informed, and empathetic approach I bring to therapy and coaching.
I am a neurodivergent therapist and coach who understands the profound complexities of navigating life’s challenges, particularly for those who identify as neurodiverse. My personal experiences have been my greatest teachers. Over the years, I’ve faced and overcome significant health battles, including multiple cancers, while also living with diagnoses of Sensory Processing Issues, complex trauma, OCD, anxiety, and depression. These experiences have not only transformed my perspective on life but also deeply informed the way I support and guide others on their journeys.
Life, as you know, isn’t a neatly paved highway. It’s a winding, unpredictable trail that can take us through valleys of uncertainty and up mountains of triumph. Along the way, we often encounter roadblocks, detours, and moments where we feel lost or overwhelmed. If you find yourself at such a crossroads, unsure of where to turn or simply longing for greater clarity and understanding, I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy and coaching can be a transformative compass, helping you find your way back to yourself and the life you envision.
I believe in the power of resilience and the beauty that comes from fully embracing your authentic self. I’ve seen how individuals can rise from the most challenging circumstances, discovering strengths they didn’t realize they possessed. I’m here to walk beside you on your journey and provide the support you need to uncover your unique potential.
Here’s what I can offer you:
Uncover Your Unique Strengths: Together, we’ll identify the strengths and talents that make you uniquely you. These are the tools you’ll use to overcome challenges and move toward your goals with confidence.
Navigate Life’s Complexities: Whether you’re dealing with relationship struggles, navigating a career transition, or working through personal challenges, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your emotions, gain clarity, and develop effective coping strategies.
Embrace Your Neurodiversity: For those who identify as neurodiverse, I offer a unique understanding and compassionate approach that celebrates your individuality. Whether you’re learning to navigate a world that often feels ill-suited to your strengths or seeking to harness the unique gifts that come with your neurodivergence, I’m here to help. In addition to therapy and coaching, I also provide autism and ADHD assessments for adults.
I provide therapy services to individuals and couples across California, and my coaching services are available worldwide. My approach blends evidence-based therapy techniques with a holistic, client-centered perspective. It’s important to me that you feel heard, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
Collaboration is at the heart of the work I do. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, and I recognize that every person’s journey is different. Together, we’ll create a partnership rooted in trust and mutual respect, one that helps you feel supported as you move toward living your most fulfilling life.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with countless individuals and couples, guiding them through their own unique challenges and triumphs. Each person I’ve worked with has taught me something invaluable, and it’s been my privilege to witness their growth, healing, and transformation. I know that the same is possible for you.
If you’re ready to embark on this path of self-discovery and personal growth, I’d be honored to join you. Whether you’re seeking therapy, coaching, or an assessment to better understand yourself, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can chart a course toward the life you desire and deserve.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I see you, and I’m here for you.
Sincerely,
Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, MA, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist 151788, Founder of Neurodiversity Network,
