Lara Tcholakian, PhD, is a Canadian-Armenian teacher, scholar, and researcher whose work spans the intersections of mindfulness, personal growth, collective traumas, and psychodynamic approaches to leadership. With professional and personal experiences in Canada, France, Peru, and Sri Lanka, Lara has cultivated a unique, global perspective on healing and human development.
Upon moving to Armenia, she deepened her focus on trauma-informed processes, exploring the complexities of human inner development and the healing of transgenerational and collective traumas. Her research and publications highlight the interplay between historical consciousness, collective memory, and their profound impact on leaders and communities today.
Lara’s work involves guiding individuals and groups to uncover how collective traumas silently shape our unconscious and imprint on our bodies across generations. She fosters healing through safe, coherent spaces that integrate trauma-informed practices and mindfulness, supporting both personal and collective transformation.
In addition to her academic contributions, Lara is a sought-after speaker and facilitator, known for her compassionate and insightful approach to addressing deep-rooted patterns of pain and resilience. Her mission is to empower individuals and communities to heal, grow, and lead with awareness and integrity.
