I bring experience and enthusiasm to my work with people struggling with substance abuse, addiction, depression, and anxiety. My emphasis is not only on the immediate needs of getting sober but the long-term process of learning to live life in a joyous and clear way. I utilize many techniques to achieve this, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), skill-building, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness based practices. A whole-person approach is incorporated utilizing resources such as nutrition, physical growth, and mindfulness-based modalities. My therapeutic style is both collaborative and supportive.

Non judgement and unconditional acceptance are the cornerstones of my practice. My strength is looking at each client's issues as opportunities for learning. Body centered education, teaching how emotional feelings become feelings in the body, is emphasized. Learning from my client's current awareness is the goal in any session. My work is non-religious but spiritual. My intention is to have each client lose the need for ongoing therapy. I have been successful in helping hundreds of individuals. I see adults, teens, couples and groups. I have offered Equine assisted therapy as an adjunct to my practice since 1999.

With all the joy and beauty life has to offer, pain is also part of the human condition. When we are in the middle of it all we often become our own worst critic and lose objectivity. In my 74 years I have found there are acceptable alternatives to most situations. I would be honored to help you explore. Sincerely, Lou Lile B.S. / M.A. / LPC / Personal Website: LouLile.com

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
