Hello! My name is Adriana Lara and I am the owner of The Curious Cat Therapy, offering counseling services for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Tampa and provide virtual therapy in Florida, New York, and Massachusetts.

I work with  folks who are feeling stuck and can’t seem to get out of their own way. I meet people where they are, helping to sit with the feelings to be able to let go of the hurt, pain, or frustration. My approach is warm, I will challenge you, while using a dash of silliness and humor. 


At The Curious Cat Therapy we lean into curiosity to explore what has led you here. As a therapist, I try not to take life too seriously. I believe humor can help ease tension, create connection, and make it a little easier to talk about the hard stuff. I’ll help you recognize your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build tools you can actually use in everyday life.

A little About Me:

I’m a proud New Englander who recently made the move to Tampa, and I’m excited to explore a new area and see what the Sunshine State has to offer. I take self-care seriously and believe in making time for fun, movement, and a good reset. Lately, I’ve found a love for Pilates, which has become one of my favorite ways to get moving and recharge.

As a true millennial with a serious love for nostalgia, I also enjoy nurturing my younger self with trips to the Disney parks. And you may occasionally meet my biggest supporters during a session—my cats, Meeko and Roadie! They’re the curious cats behind the name of my practice and are always happy to make an appearance and say hello.
