Lea Darido, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with over 10 years of experience supporting adults, couples, and families. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Lebanese University and is bilingual in Arabic and English. Lea’s passion for this work began while supporting vulnerable children in orphanages in underdeveloped countries. She witnessed how profoundly a child’s healing depended on the presence of safe, attuned adults. This experience shaped her conviction that real change starts with helping adults understand and heal their own attachment patterns so they can create secure relationships for themselves and the next generation. Her clinical approach is attachment-based and insight-oriented. She is Level 2 trained therapist in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and currently getting trained in Level 3, a certified Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner, and has completed specialized training in the Adult Attachment Interview as well as a four-year intensive program in systemic, psychoanalytic, and integrative psychotherapy. Lea specializes in helping individuals, couples and families break repeating relational patterns, rebuild emotional connection, and navigate the unique challenges of foster care, adoption, and kinship parenting. She works with both in-person clients in the greater Indianapolis area and online across Indiana. Warm, attuned, and deeply relational, Lea creates a safe space where clients feel seen and supported as they move toward greater self-understanding and lasting connection.
