Have you ever thought to yourself - "I freeze every time I have to perform". "My nerves always get the best of me". "I need someone to talk to, but I don't want to burden anyone". "I feel sad but I'm not sure why". "I'll never be good enough". Do you relate to any of these statements? You are worthy of a better life and together we can get there.

Welcome! Please take your time to choose a therapist that you feel would be a good fit—doing so is vital to the overall process of therapy. My style? I want clients who are ready to learn, grow, and finally feel in control of their lives again. I am very passionate about my work and will give you resources in between sessions so that you aren't limited to progressing just once a week for 45 minutes or an hour. In this way, I try my best to be the "guide on the side"—rather than the "sage on the stage"—for my clients.

I am also a Certified Life Coach and am passionate about helping my clients work towards achieving a better emotional and behavioral well-being.

There’s just too much to do. I have been there and want to help you break the negative cycles that are keeping you trapped. Imagine learning to effectively communicate with others so that you get your needs met. Imagine being able to say no to one more commitment without feeling guilty.

Hello! I'm Lyss and so glad you're here! Before you read any further, please visit my website: www.lyssdelatorre.com. As your counselor, I will work to create a space for you to feel welcomed, protected and cared for. You will find the freedom to bring your truest self: all of your joys, shame and pain. Here we will walk together-at your pace-towards a deeper understanding of yourself in order to build an authentic life. I have found my passion in working with teens and adults who find themselves in painful places, whether from traumatic experiences or from the inner voices of shame, and working together towards healing and peace.

Have you ever felt like past trauma, negative experiences, addictions, or anxiety rule your life? Do you wish you could experience serenity even through the hard times? Perhaps you are feeling unhappy, frustrated, worried, confused, or empty. Perhaps you feel lost, worthless, or without purpose. If any of these descriptions sounds familiar, I am here for you. I use client focused DBT and trauma informed therapy in a safe and welcoming space. I believe that it is important to learn how to build ourselves up from the inside, working on our esteem and self-worth.

Are you a young adult or teenager struggling to transition in or out of school, work, or the home you grew up in? I work primarily with adolescents and young adults navigating life transitions. Graduating high school? Entering college? Leaving home for the first time? Stepping out into the working world? Unfortunately, these can be hard and isolating experiences. With my expertise and your work in and out of session, I want to help you reach these goals with realistic, confidence building tools and a compassionate understanding that life. can. be. hard.

My approach begins with the belief that the human experience is to know both joy and pain, & every variation of emotion in-between, often in the same moment. I believe that which has been wounded in relationship must be healed in relationship. In order for your true self to emerge it must be witnessed. Just as our deepest glory must be held, so too must our wounds. In these places we will engage a posture of curiosity of how those wounds have impacted your style of relating and the ways you have had to adapt to cope.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others, longing to feel known, safe, and whole? Relationships with ourselves and others hold the power to wound us, heal us, and move us toward the abundant life we imagine. Through our work together I hope to co-create a space of authenticity, connection and safety. My goal is to partner alongside you to support you toward empowerment, healing, and self-trust as your reclaim your story and step into your most authentic self.

I believe there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to therapy because every person is unique with diverse needs. Whether I'm working with you to address trauma, relational conflict, life transitions, spirituality or everything in between, I approach therapy through a holistic process that encompasses my client’s whole self. I strive to create a safe space that encourages honesty and offers a rewarding experience. Clients should know that they are moving forward and experiencing positive change. I equip my clients with skills to empower them to problem solve, build confidence, and overcome their barriers.

Mankind was made for relationship. We have a deep longing in ourselves to be seen and known, while also reciprocating such things for those whom we love. Woundedness, in my perspective, stems from a breakdown in these areas of yearning. When we can order these things properly, we avail ourselves to flourishing.

Hello, my name is Dr. Lindsey Williams and I am thrilled to be starting this therapeutic journey with you. My philosophy has always been that you know your situation and what’s best for you better than anyone.

If trying to communicate with your partner leaves you feeling frustrated and the emotional connection you crave seems out of reach, let me be your guide.

Strengthening the bond between you two will allow you to approach old issues with renewed warmth and compassion. Let's collaborate to transform your relationship for the better.

Often times life throws things at us that are just too difficult to overcome on our own. It's my passion to walk alongside you to listen to your life story without judgment, assist in identifying your personal strengths, offer new perspectives, and collaborate to help you discover healthy changes leading to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. The way we think about things can often lead us astray and into a state of anxiety. We will bring attention to and change the thought processes, beliefs, and automatic thoughts that often cause much distress and anxiety. Together, we will identify solutions that work for you.

Are you a teacher having difficulty managing the overwhelming stress associated with your job? You may be fed up with the constant demands and pressures associated with teaching, feeling like the stress isn’t worth the toll it’s taking on the rest of your life. Maybe you're living with constant brain fog, struggling to concentrate or feel productive. Some days you resent even becoming a teacher. You remember a time when this anxiety, exhaustion, and burnout weren’t the norm...but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that? I can help.

If you find yourself hurting and stuck in destructive cycles, then you need relief and good care. I believe that much like physical injuries, untreated emotional wounds can get in the way of living to our fullest. Many times the pain can become unbearable and confusing and we may act or treat others, or ourselves, counter to what we know to be true. We can get stuck in destructive cycles or even feel hopeless. Reaching out for support and guidance is essential to becoming free. I believe we can all heal and thrive, despite the depth or severity of the wounds. I would be honored to partner with you in your journey to heal.
