THERAPY WITH LYSSIA

My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgemental and collaborative as I aim to support each individual striving to make positive changes in their lives and move through difficult times. With a belief that internal resources are already within each person, I focus on cultivating and strengthening what is innately in each person to support them in realizing their goal for themselves, their families, and their lives.

Our history can create complicated thought patterns, difficult emotions to carry, and beliefs about ourselves and the world that can hold us back and keep us from living the lives we want to live. It’s my job to use the tools and techniques I have to help you make sense of it all and live into the story of your life.

I draw from a number of evidence-based approaches to support, educate, and empower the individual needs of my clients, including EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Humanistic and Person-Centered therapies.  I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but that with committed and experienced professional support, it is possible to move forward and to heal.

Whether you are looking for solution focused, short term therapy to manage more acute concerns or more extensive therapy for complex challenges, we will work together to find the right path forward for you.
