LPCC, 5 years of experience
Hello! My name is Micayla Lyons and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). My goal is to hold space for and provide support to those who are walking through challenging stages in their life. I firmly believe that no one should have to walk alone. Like the Willow tree, we can bend much farther than we sometimes believe, and I hope to aid you in learning to bend with life instead of breaking. I try my best to “protect my peace” and hope to help you be able to do this as well. We will work together to aid in you achieving your goals, developing resiliency, and learning to navigate life's challenges in a way that works best for you. It is an honor and a privilege to be given the sacred trust that comes with clients walking through my door – I feel that the bravest choice that a person can make is asking for help.
During the first session, you can expect for us to get to know one another, explore therapeutic goals, explore history and current life circumstances, and develop a general approach for therapeutic treatment.
I feel that our experiences motivate our passions and after losing our daughter during pregnancy in 2021, I have developed a heart for those who are experiencing perinatal loss and perinatal mental health challenges. I currently hold my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) to best serve in this space. I also feel that children, adolescents and young adults are integral parts of our world and love working with these populations – providing support as they grow, learn, and shift into who they want to become. I try my best to approach every client with a non-judgemental, open viewpoint - I firmly believe that it is not my job to judge, but rather to walk alongside you as you navigate life for yourself.

I believe that focus on the person as a unique individual is the best approach to therapy.
