Lilly Avila
I'm a compassionate, client-centered social worker dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward healing and growth. My practice is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and helping you feel truly seen and heard. I am passionate about helping clients through their individual journey and ensuring that they don't feel alone as they navigate their challenges.
First session
In our first session, my focus is on creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard and supported. We’ll take time to get to know each other, talk about what brings you in, and explore what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll go at your pace. I’ll ask some gentle questions to better understand your needs and answer any questions you have.
Strengths
I work collaboratively with clients to set treatment goals that are meaningful, realistic, and aligned with their values. In our early sessions, we explore your concerns, strengths, and hopes for therapy to help clarify what you’d like to achieve. I believe goal-setting in therapy should feel flexible and supportive, not pressured.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach to treatment is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe healing happens in a safe, trusting relationship, so I prioritize creating a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, build on your strengths, and work at a pace that feels right for you
