Roberto Lara, LCSW, is a trauma-focused psychotherapist and founder of HeartMind Psychotherapy based in Salt Lake City, Utah. With nearly 20 years of experience in the mental health field, he specializes in helping adult humans with complex trauma due to attachment, developmental, and relational wounding, and systems of oppression. As an EMDRIA-approved consultant, Roberto skillfully integrates evidence-based trauma modalities with creative approaches to healing. He holds a certificate in ketamine and psychedelic medicine-assisted psychotherapy from PRATI and thoughtfully incorporates plant medicine and ketamine-assisted therapy to harness neuroplasticity and deepen trauma resolution. Roberto’s practice is rooted in the belief that profound healing emerges from the therapeutic relationship, cultural attunement, and the integration of mind and body. As a Latin American immigrant, he brings cultural sensitivity and native Spanish fluency to his work, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds. Roberto also provides consultation and coaching for fellow therapists, emphasizing creativity, attunement, and the unique needs of neurodivergent professionals
