My name is Lillian Eyre (she/her). For over 25 years, I have worked as a music therapist (MT-BC), licensed professional counselor (LPC), and professor and clinical supervisor of music therapy (PhD). I provide counseling through telehealth therapy in the state of PA specializing in adults from college age to elders to treat anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and relational distress.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first sessions, we will talk about what brings you to therapy, as well as your goals and aspirations for our work together and where you are headed in life. We will discuss your background, and I will pose questions to better understand you and your needs. In the first sessions, we will discuss your historical as well as current experiences as we work to create a robust picture of your current life and how we can achieve the changes you desire.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My life experience is my greatest strength as a provider. My own early experiences in life left me feeling as though I did not have what it takes to live a full and satisfying life. But throughout my childhood and adolescence, I was blessed with the opportunity to engage in music, which taught me that feelings and thoughts can change, even when it feels like they can't. In 25 years of experience providing and teaching about therapy, I have witnessed that it can change lives dramatically. It is my passion to help others experience the change, renewal, and peace that can result from working with a professional in an empathetic, therapeutic relationship.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
It is my passion to work with people who feel that the challenges they face are impeding their desired progress and hampering their well-being in life. These problems may include relationship issues, career goals, and self-image. Sometimes, people find it hard to put into words the enormity of what they are feeling. We can also use drawings and music and imagery to help you express your innermost experiences and we will work together to make meaning of this in your own personal narrative.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Humanistic
The most important aspect in therapy is the relationship that we cultivate with each other. My approach is to favor humanistic engagement in the therapy session. You and I are two people working together to deepen our understanding of your experiences and to find positive pathways to lead you forward and help you to thrive in your life. This relationship between us is a primary means of growth and healing. Therefore, I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere of unconditional acceptance where reflection and insight can flourish, and you can develop new life skills.
Trauma Informed Care
Often, current problems may have roots in the past, and in addition to talk therapy, we may decide to use right-brain practices such as art and music to illuminate and work through them to bring insight and change. We will learn about how your feelings are connected to your nervous system and practice some breathing exercises and movement together that you can use throughout your day to restore your emotional balance.
