How do you work with clients with depression?

Hello! My name is Lynn and I have 10 years of experience working with the adult population. I provide individual therapy and over the last 7 years I have had the opportunity to work with adults of varying ages, primarily women who have experienced abusive or toxic relationships, specifically narcissistic abuse. Our understanding of how relationships work originate from our family of origin. We learn attitudes and behaviors from our caregivers and many times these behaviors are toxic, dysfunctional or destructive. I can help with understanding the patterns in your relationships or behaviors that create strife or stress. I focus on mind, body and soul. I use integrative therapies to help you to identify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and replace them with healthy ones to creating meaningful change and learn to successfully navigate the relationships and interactions with the people in your life. I approach all of life including therapy from a Christian worldview. I would be happy to integrate faith into the counseling process by request. My approaches to therapy primarily includes; Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) some Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Interpersonal therapy, Solution Focused therapy and recently I have been trained in basic EMDR therapy and FLASH. To learn more about EMDR, go to www.EMDRIA.org. I believe that you are the expert about you. My job is to partner with you and walk along with you through your journey of healing.

Hi there! I am dedicated to creating space for healing. As an existential-humanistic therapist, I believe that the search for meaning and purpose is central to our human experience. I approach therapy with a deep respect for each individual's unique journey and the complexity of their inner world. My practice is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and transformation, and that therapy can help us tap into that potential. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As an existential-humanistic therapist, I prioritize the exploration of the big questions in life: Who am I? What is my purpose? What gives my life meaning? Through this exploration, we can begin to gain insight into our deepest desires and fears, and develop a greater sense of authenticity and connection. I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness, experiential therapy, and the interpersonal process, to help clients deepen their self-awareness and increase their capacity for emotional expression. I also emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship, recognizing that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is a key factor in successful therapy outcomes. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and an open heart, I invite you to reach out and start your journey towards greater self-understanding and fulfillment.

I really work hard to be creative in therapy learning more and more ways to help people.  Especially people that may to have been helped in the traditional ways that therapy is often done.

20+ years of experience as a teacher, business owner, and mom, and now, as a therapist makes me uniquely qualified to help women and teenagers cope successfully with life's challenges. I have immense empathy for teens and women who feel alone, like they don't fit in, or are called "weird," and have worked with clients that suffered from ADHD, trauma and abuse, bullying, anxiety, depression, withdrawal, isolation, excessive absences, anger issues and recovered from the fallout of domestic violence, PTSD, and dysfunctional relationships. My passion is helping teens and women develop a stronger internal sense of self-love and self-appreciation to live a full and rewarding life.

Why am I the therapist for you? Because I’ve been there. In addition to being a therapist, I’m also a woman, business owner, wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I know firsthand the demands on modern women to balance family, career, household, and personal obligations. I know what it feels like to run yourself into the ground and question whether you’re really doing any of it well enough. I know the pain of trauma, divorce, growing up with an emotionally unavailable parent, and raising a child with special needs. I’ve struggled with anxiety, perfectionism, and feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness and well-being. Prioritizing my own mental health and choosing to live with intention and connection to my own truth brought me a peace I had never known before. I want to help you find the same peace, healing and freedom.
