Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, LMFT
Compassionate Support for Neurodivergent Individuals, Couples & Leaders
Welcome to my Contact Page
Hi, I’m Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, MA, LMFT—a licensed therapist, certified coach, and fellow neurodivergent human walking this path called love and life with you.
Whether you’re seeking clarity around your diagnosis, longing for deeper connection in your relationship, or searching for affirming support that honors your wiring, you’re in the right place.
This is a space for emotional safety, real talk, and healing that lasts.
My Mission
To help you feel safe in your truth.
I work with sensitive, intuitive, and neurodivergent adults and couples who are tired of masking, over-functioning, or feeling unseen. Whether you’re navigating Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, trauma, or relationship disconnect, you deserve support that sees all of who you are.
Together, we’ll create pathways to:
-
Self-understanding
-
Authentic connection
-
Sustainable healing
This is support that affirms your identity, not pathologizes it.
