I am licensed in MA and NY. I am straightforward, helping clients achieve behavioral change towards living in line with their values and priorities. I provide treatment that is founded on evidence based principles, meaning that I base treatment on knowledge gleaned from research and science while allowing for flexibility to accommodate to the individuals with whom I work. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities and work from within an acceptance based cognitive behavior therapy framework. Balancing acceptance of our experiences and channeling our strengths towards behavior change is, I find, the most useful path forward.
My specialties include helping parents/family members, young adults, and adults struggling to build independence, manage intense emotions, build meaningful relationships, and work towards life goals. I work both individually or with families, depending on what is needed. Please visit my website: http://lyviachriki.health/index.html
I am highly trained in providing treatment for individuals who have had traumatic experiences and am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and evidence based treatments for PTSD (PE and CPT). Additionally, I specialize in parent guidance for parents of teens and young adults who are struggling with independence or emotion dysregulation.
