Kathleen Lyons
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I am a Christian faith-based mental health counselor who walks with clients through their own treatment goals with complete regard for their inherent dignity and right to consent as image bearers of God. I use a trauma-informed strengths based approach to help clients recover from trauma and loss as well as grow through changes and life adjustment.
​
I am honored to serve people in their growth and healing toward their whole and integrated selves.
​
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Services
Specialized in the treatment of:
- Post Traumatic Stress/PTSD (acute, complex)
- Depression (major, persistant, unipolar and bi-polar)
- Anxiety and Anxiety Disorders
- Grief and Loss
- Development and Phase of Life Issues (Adolescent, Post-adolescent, Adult)
- Behavioral Issues (Codependency, Phobia)
I specialize in helping people work through experiences which leave them feeling stuck by highlighting and leveraging their own personal strengths as well as helping their brains form new connections of insight and understanding for increased health and wellbeing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR are used to help people work through experiences that leave them feeling hopeless, anxious, frequently triggered or despaired.
​
I am passionate about serving caregivers from nearly every field (pastors, counselors, social workers, adoptive parents, missionaries, medical professionals, first responders, etc) because every helper needs a helper who understands their unique challenges. My clients work through single, acute and complex trauma, grief and loss, significant life change such as divorce, recovery from codependency or burnout, and phase of life/development issues. I also specialize in the care of adolescents and the families who love them.
​
Every client has the option and right to consent to acknowledge God and utilize Christian faith practice into their counseling. No client is turned away for declining faith-based counseling or admitting they don't know or aren't sure. Every client is empowered to chose treatment goals and is informed about treatment options. We work together to create the treatment plan that is right for you.
