Teletherapy for 80027

We all need healthy, meaningful, close relationships, and want to live a happy and peaceful life. Developing a trusting and supportive therapy relationship can be an important start getting there. Feeling connected in relationships is an essential aspect of our emotional well-being. I have 29 years of experience helping clients develop constructive change through exploring thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns, including early attachment patterns. My work is attachment-informed, and we'll work together to decrease any depression or anxiety, build greater self-compassion and acceptance, and strong emotional awareness.

Everyone has seasons in life where they are struggling and need help. I provide a supportive and nonjudgemental space to receive support and healing for anxiety, depression, life changes (such as divorce, birth, marriage, moving, new jobs), loss, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships problems and even general goal setting. I believe the key to life satisfaction is identifying your core values and then working to align your behaviors and decisions with those values.

I have been a counselor for 40 years, working with individuals, couples, families and groups with psychological as well as addiction issues. I have extensive experience in inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I am eclectic in my evaluation and treatment methods, which gives me flexibility to treat individual needs. Primarily, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques. Many of my clients suffer with depression, anger, and anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder); all of which impact potential addictions. I also treat couples and families to better understand their dynamics and to improve their communication skills.

Healing happens through movement of your body, opening of your heart, training of your mind, and alignment with your soul! By learning and practicing Expressive Arts Therapy practices, you may cultivate more joy and peace in your life.

We all have a story! Sometimes, through life's ups and downs we need a new perspective and a way to navigate through change. I provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for my clients. I believe that my job as a therapist is to work in a partnership with clients in learning more about themselves, identifying barriers in their lives, and creating strategies and solutions on how to overcome them. There is not just one way to achieve personal happiness, and I will help each client navigate their own way to achieve their goals.

I am a individual adult counselor and PACT trained couple/marriage therapist. Psychotherapy is a journey of self-exploration, self-discovery and self-awareness. My approach centers around a belief in the healing and transformative power of mindfulness, and mind-body awareness. With guidance and support, these tools lead to freedom, joy, the manifestation of your natural talents and gifts, and your true voice. I offer a supportive, compassionate style, and a strong, steady, presence for our work together; I also skillfully and precisely challenge the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

Starting a journey in therapy can be an overwhelming decision. Are your struggling to take this leap? Dr. Lyons has a warm, grounded, and deeply knowledgeable approach to therapy that welcomes your needs and can help with transitions to positive and lasting results.

When is enough enough? Life is a constant process of managing work, family, friendships, partnerships, parenting, a household; the list never ends. Every year you might think it's going to be better, less stress, more fun; and then it's back to the same draining routines. If you feel tired of wishing things in your life were different and finding yourself stuck in patterns and relationships that don't feel good, something has to change. Starting now might feel like too much, but, we know there's never the "perfect" time and waiting will set you back another year.

I work with teens 11 and older, as well as individuals, couples, and families, including co-parenting counseling. If your issues are relationship oriented (parent/child, between partners, co-parents, or family related issues), related to phase of life transitions or changes, such as marital crisis, separation, divorce, marriage, remarriage, blending a family, empty nest, co parenting challenges, retirement, and you're looking for a goal-oriented approach to figuring out a pathway through, I can help. We will pinpoint the issues, set goals, get a plan in place, and work together toward positive change.

Everyone deserves the best life has to offer. I strive to give my clients the information, insights and tools they need to make the most of their lives. My approach is very eclectic, but draws heavily upon my own life experiences, cognitive behavioral and existential theories.

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking support and greater well-being. Through a creative and practical collaboration, I work with clients to bring awareness and curiosity to their strengths and challenges. Together we can explore your patterns and create sustainable changes. I have over a decade of experience working with clients who are experiencing stress, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. I specialize in an integrative and relational approach to therapy, which focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship of realness, connection, and communication.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) trained in IFS as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I am absolutely passionate about helping those impacted by sexual integrity issues. I work with "addicted parts" using individual, couple, and group therapy modalities. I am quite aware of relational trauma that partners of sex, porn, and relationship addicts experience, and I compassionately work to guide addicted parts through isolating and shame-filled experiences. My role is to help reduce this shame and systematically get to the root of the addictive and compulsive behaviors that have led to intimacy disorder issues.

This is supposed to be the happiest time in your life, so why can’t you enjoy it? This is not how you thought life would be. You feel like you’re failing, and you're plagued by guilt. You’re terrified all the time. Everything is so overwhelming. Why is everything so hard? You feel like you’re going crazy, but you’re too scared to tell anyone. You feel like a burden. If any of these thoughts sound familiar, you are not alone in what you’re experiencing, and it's not uncommon. You are not losing your mind, and it can get better. I can help you feel like yourself again. It’s time to get your life back.

Does it seem like your child's academic performance doesn't match their ability? Does your child's school require assessments for admissions or accommodations? Do you feel like psychological, cognitive or emotional barriers are standing in the way of your child's success? Most importantly, does it feel like your child's academic experience is starting to undermine their self-confidence, self-image and resilience? As a former teacher and current parent, I have tremendous empathy for families struggling to find their path through the social, emotional and academic challenges of childhood and adolescent years.

Healing begins when we feel supported by another person. I offer Gestalt therapy, with a foundation in Social Justice Counseling. I am acutely aware that power, privilege, and oppression exist at the forefront of all relationships, which is why my work with you will take into account the ways your identity shapes your experience of walking in this world. As a bicultural, trilingual woman, I am passionate about expanding strengths that already exist in you and I am familiar with navigating the confusion of holding various identities.

I am passionate about my role as a helper and the partnership that is created when I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on their journeys toward wellness. Typical goals that I help my clients achieve are: Moving forward after traumatic events. Creating a mindful, purposeful way of facing life's challenges such divorce, infertility, and grief /loss. Developing skills to cope with symptoms of depression or anxiety. Staying present during the transition to becoming a new parent, tackling a new career, or moving toward retirement.

I feel a person's history, current life situation, and steps they are taking towards the future are all part of the therapeutic process. Often times, just talking with someone and hearing ourselves speak out loud what has been in our private thoughts helps to initially ease some of that burden. In addition to offering a non-judgmental space for you to process your concerns, I will collaborate with you on strategies for better managing what feels challenging for you right now.
