Do you ever feel like your life isn’t turning out as planned? Hi. I’m Lynette, a licensed therapist. If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship or family problems, or trauma, I can help. I work with adults of all faiths, or none, but have special expertise helping Latter-day Saints, with both clinical skills and the reassurance that I understand our shared LDS culture. I bring experience in trauma, family dynamics, and emotional struggles gained in 15+ years of work in a large clinic, as a pastoral counselor in the Philippines, and in private practice.
I offer a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy using EMDR therapy, an effective yet gentle way to heal trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you identify goals and take action. I take many kinds of insurance and am all-virtual, making therapy accessible anywhere in AZ or CA.
I bring who I am to this work. Raising a Deaf daughter, ASL interpreting, and parenting children we adopted helps me understand the needs of deaf, hard-of-hearing and adopted individuals and those parenting them. I’ve also experienced physical challenges, early loss, and the ups and downs of life in a loving 50+ year marriage. Please see TrueHelpTherapy.com
