About

The Change Lab Counseling and Consulting is a therapy practice focused on addressing OCD and/or trauma in a tailored, organic way to cause change and relief in those who are ready and willing to put in some (I’ll be honest) pretty demanding work.

I’m Larissa Cambel, and the best way to describe the way I do therapy is how a colleague once described my style to me:

"Some therapists are soft and gentle like clouds, and work with clients who prefer a gentler approach. You're a therapist that’ll get in the trenches with your clients and help them make it through the hellfire."

Everyone laughed, but, well, it’s true. Whether it’s trauma in all its many forms damaging everything in and around you, OCD that is consuming your life, anxiety that is freezing you, insomnia that seems untamable and unending, or anything else I listed in my specialties, work with me means I’m not going to flinch at what you bring in. Instead, I’ll get to know you and understand what’s going on before using the tools and skills I have to stimulate change in a way that’s fitted to you.

A firmer, more direct approach does mean that therapy with me has an element of discomfort and demand, at least in the beginning. But many of my clients find the short-term discomfort of the work is worth the relief they experience after, and it’s given me a lot of faith and trust in the approach.

If you’re looking for someone to help you get through the hellfire, go ahead and reach out for a consultation. Let’s see if we can create change and get you back to the life you want to live.
