Teresa Lyons, M.Ed., LPC, is a caring mental health professional and community advocate with over 25 years in education and more than 30 years in ministry. She has a heart for helping people find hope and healing as they navigate grief, chronic illness, and life’s challenges. Teresa specializes in academic, emotional, and spiritual care and is passionate about walking alongside others with compassion, encouragement, and wisdom. “I chose to become a counselor because of the impact counseling had on me as a young adult. At a time when I struggled to find purpose, value, and self-love, my counselor offered compassionate yet firm guidance that left a lasting mark on my life. That experience inspired me to dedicate my work to helping others discover hope, healing, and their own sense of worth.”

You may be carrying more than most people realize. Maybe you're trying to heal from trauma, manage the stress of a chronic health condition, navigate pregnancy or new parenthood, repair a relationship, or simply get through each day without feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. You don't have to keep pretending you're okay or figure it all out on your own. My goal is to help you feel supported, regain your confidence, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more like you again.

Clients describe me as someone who’s compassionate, but who will “tell it like it is.” I believe that most problems in our relationships and well-being come from unmet needs in childhood. I help my clients learn to heal through mindfulness, reparenting, and finding a sense of safety through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or somatic therapy. At the same time, we need to identify and challenge negative beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world. This is a process called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through therapy, we can develop self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and assertive communication. These are skills we can all learn to help us feel better and work towards the life and healthy relationships we want.

Hello, and welcome.

I have extensive experience supporting college students, professionals, and individuals navigating periods of change, self-doubt, and personal growth.

My counseling style is supportive, collaborative, and solution-focused. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Gottman-informed relationship approaches to help clients build insight, resilience, and meaningful change. Together, we will explore patterns, identify strengths, and develop strategies that align with your values and goals.

I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take ownership of their growth and wellbeing. My hope is that therapy helps you build clarity, confidence, balance, and a stronger sense of purpose moving forward.
