The Lion's Way

At Lion's Way therapy is rooted in the belief that everyone is the expert in their own life and can be empowered to create an environment which is conducive towards a positive mental health journey. Faith based counseling can be a part of that journey. Theoretical approaches used in the counseling space are primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and Parts Work Therapy. This is used to encourage individuals to take command over their own thinking and behavioral patterns for their own self-care.Together we can work towards reaching your goals in becoming the best version of yourself; however that looks like to you.
