We would all enjoy an opportunity to make a wish that would quickly solve our problems and improve our lives. Making a wish and having a dream renews hope for living. I believe that therapy is about renewing hope for your life. At Wishing Tree Counseling, I use a client-centered therapeutic approach that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and canine therapy when working with my clients.

I'm passionate about helping clients identify their priorities, discover ways to achieve their goals and see the best in themselves. I work with people facing various stressors, challenges and mental health issues. My experiences in counseling have taught me the significant connections between emotional, cognitive, spiritual and physical health. I want to help you develop compassion and understanding for yourself and others, enhance your confidence and skills in managing difficulties, and practice living more fully in the present. You can began the healing process, as you develop healthier ways of thinking, relating and living.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in a private practice setting at Lexington Counseling and Psychiatry. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in working with traumatic events including domestic violence, emotional abuse, neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. I also provide an array of different therapy services including treatment for anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant disorder, personality disorders, etc. My ideal client is an individual motivated for change and willing to do something different!

People come to therapy because they want to feel better. It might be relationship problems or anxiety/depression, but whatever the reason, life has become uncomfortable or painful. Most people want more understanding of themselves and their situation. That being said, change is what we all seek in therapy. Making your life work better is the goal. I focus on altering self-defeating ways, gaining perspective, and increasing insight that leads to change. The result is an improved quality of life.

I am a graduate from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelor's in Science in Recreational Therapy. I then went on to receive my Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I have worked with multiple populations. (Ex: clients at Eastern State Hospital, Scott Co Drug Court, Clients with a TBI, Clients with an intellectual disability, and many more). I am a member of the ACA (American Counseling Association) and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I take pride in my work to help others and to provide them with a safe, calming, environment to talk in.

Hey there! Therapy is about healing. Healing is possible. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kentucky providing individual therapy services. My journey as a social worker has taken me all of the U.S., with many experiences that have further developed my natural gifts for compassionate listening. Every person is unique; therefore, the interventions I use vary depending on your needs or goals.

We offer counseling, case management, and psychiatry for Medicaid recipients throughout the state. Our approach is laid-back and down to earth, and our sessions are very much directed by the client. We all have things that we may struggle with from time to time, and it is important to find a professional that you can relate to when you need help.

I offer a practical, nonjudgmental approach to those wishing to address difficulties or distress in their lives. My objective is to assist clients in meeting their goals through a process of consideration, collaboration, and resource-building.

You thought your relationship would bring you joy and happiness. Instead, you feel desperate and hopeless. The person you expected to bring you the most love and joy has hurt you. I’m sorry, but there is hope! Let me say it again: There is hope. Hope for your troubled relationship to be transformed into what you've always dreamed it would be. A happy and fulfilling marriage. The warmth of family harmony. The unshakable bond between a parent and a child. It’s still possible to have these. It may feel and seem impossible, but through therapy you can work towards the having the relationships you've always dreamed about.

Are you seeking more impactful methods than talk therapy for anxiety, depression, or other issues? Talking about trauma might have made you feel worse instead of better, or maybe your struggles with shame, fear, anger, or self-sabotage persist when you seem to lack trauma history at all. You may have a physical health problem that would benefit from exploring and releasing negative emotions, whether related to the past or to living with the condition now. Or, as part your growth, spiritual, or addiction recovery path, you may be motivated to uncover your ''shadow,'' or other personality aspects to better pursue purpose and meaning.

As an agency we have been supporting people via online sessions, with everything that falls “outside the box” for many years. Well our whole world just changed with this pandemic, and everything now falls under that category. Let us help you navigate these uncharted waters. No matter what challenge this all is bringing up for you let us support you in finding a way through this and finding your inner strength during this time.

“People start to heal the moment they feel heard.” I have worked in the mental health field for 7 years. I have experience in working with children, adolescents and adults. Some of the disorders I have treated include anxiety, depression, severe mental illness, grief, trauma and addiction. I have also worked closely with couples and families to assist with strengthening relationships and family bonds.

All sessions are Tele-health and accept MOST INSURANCE. Do you feel you have hit a dead end in life? Struggling with experiences that have you "stuck" and seem to be keeping you from enjoying life? Are you ready to make changes that can help you overcome obstacles and move forward towards your life goals? Finding solutions can often be overwhelming, but the good news is you don't have to do it alone. Making life changes requires a supportive and safe therapeutic environment, essential for meeting your specific needs and becoming a happier, healthier you. This is the first step in making that possible and I welcome you!

Thank you for visiting the Griffin-Lyons Counseling site. My name is Willie Boddie, and I have been practicing clinical social work in central Kentucky since 2000. I work with persons with anxiety and depression to develop coping strategies for those mental illnesses. My practice currently focuses on adults with the aforementioned mental health concerns, parenting concerns, and LBGTQ related concerns.

How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you. I have learned that the most important relationship a person will ever have is the relationship they have with themselves. It’s important to learn how to trust yourself, love yourself, treat yourself, challenge yourself, and see yourself through someone else’s eyes. It is my goal to guide others as they embark on their own journey of self.

Thank you for being brave enough to consider this important step in your healing and growth. This is a safe space for us to process anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and identity struggles. I focus upon you and your strengths in collaboration with a wide lens of evidence-based interventions such as CBT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing and DBT. For clients interested, I offer extensive experience in creative/expressive interventions which may integrate mediums such as art, writing, music, and other unique forms of communication to foster fresh self-awareness and growth.
