Lara Kercinik - Director
I was born and raised in the Barrington area. I have a master’s degree in mental health counseling, and I am very passionate about destigmatizing therapy while making it accessible to all. I love working with donors and Barrington community members. I wish the community knew that BYFS serves all ages (children and adults).
