Therapist

I'm Symone Lyles (she/her/hers), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My work is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own healing. I’m here to guide and support steady, intentional growth at a pace that feels safe and authentic.

Like a turtle with its shell, you carry your protection wherever you go. I aim to create a space that balances comfort and challenge through connection, humor, and honesty while supporting you to come out of your shell.

My goal is to help clients develop greater awareness, resilience, and alignment between who they are and how they want to show up in the world.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here.
