Teresa Lyons, M.Ed., LPC, is a caring mental health professional and community advocate with over 25 years in education and more than 30 years in ministry. She has a heart for helping people find hope and healing as they navigate grief, chronic illness, and life’s challenges. Teresa specializes in academic, emotional, and spiritual care and is passionate about walking alongside others with compassion, encouragement, and wisdom. “I chose to become a counselor because of the impact counseling had on me as a young adult. At a time when I struggled to find purpose, value, and self-love, my counselor offered compassionate yet firm guidance that left a lasting mark on my life. That experience inspired me to dedicate my work to helping others discover hope, healing, and their own sense of worth.”

I am a doctoral-prepared nurse (DNP) and a dual-certified nurse practitioner (FNP-C/PMHNP-BC) with more than twenty years of nursing experience. I am great at combining my clinical skills with a holistic approach to patient care, with a goal of helping you feel understood and empowered.

What I Want You to Know

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.

You don't have to know exactly what to say.

And you don't have to navigate difficult seasons alone.

We'll start where you are and work from there.

I'm looking forward to meeting you.

My name is Bradley Smith, and I’m a therapist who believes that meaningful change begins with feeling understood. I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the everyday pressures that can make life feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and heard without judgment.

I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not sure where to start. I approach each client with curiosity, empathy, and respect for their unique experiences. Everyone’s story is different, and I believe therapy should reflect that. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable while focusing on what matters most to you.

I'm a licensed psychologist, an assistant professor at a public university, and — in an earlier life — a musician who led a band around Hongdae in Seoul. I was born and raised in Korea and have since lived and worked across the U.S. and in Vietnam, so I know the experience of living between cultures from the inside.

I work with adults, adolescents, and children, in English and Korean, on ADHD and executive functioning; anxiety, stress, and depression; giftedness, creativity, and high performance (including performers and creative professionals); and bicultural and Korean-American identity, acculturation, and family dynamics across generations. I also see couples and families.

My doctorate is from one of the very few APA-accredited Combined (Counseling & School Psychology) programs in North America, and I've researched creativity and giftedness for more than ten years. Most of my work is by telehealth.

My focus has been on helping people cope with trauma, physical, sexual or emotional. I graduated from Texas Tech in 2015 with my master's in Community Mental Health Counseling.

I love working with children, adolescents and adults who may struggle with anxiety, depression, family issues, or any other day-to-day challenges. My ideal client's goals would be for them to become the best version of themselves and be ready to work in and outside of therapy; wanting happiness, health, and overall a better sense of belonging and direction for their life.

Hi, I’m Brittany. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Therapist with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges, transitions, and seasons of growth.

At the heart of my work is a genuine love for helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have gotten lost along the way. I especially enjoy working with teens, adults, and families, and I believe some of the most meaningful change happens when we have a safe space to show up as our whole selves—not just the parts that seem easiest to explain.

I bring warmth, compassion, curiosity, and a little humor into the therapy room. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or have everything figured out. Come as you are—we’ll start there.

I integrate both medical and therapeutic perspectives to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—with clinical expertise and genuine empathy.

I strive to create a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, or major life transitions, I work collaboratively with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that empowers growth and promotes meaningful, sustained emotional well-being.

You're the one everyone relies on-the one who holds it all together, shows up, and keeps going even when you're exhausted. On the outside, things may look fine. On the inside, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to break. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to keep doing it this way. I have extensive experience in supporting individuals, couples, and families in their most vulnerable moments. I bring a calm, grounded presence to situations of anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress.

My practice, Luna Encadenada Psychotherapy, reflects my ancestral roots and the values that guide my work. "Luna," my paternal grandmother's maiden name, evokes healing, cycles, and intuition. "Encadenada," derived from my maternal grandfather's surname, symbolizes strength through connection to self, family, and something greater.
