Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bryan, TX

I’m an experienced mental health professional and leader with a strong background in therapy, behavioral health, and military family support. With over a decade of post-graduate experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals, families, and service members navigate life’s challenges with compassion and professionalism. I combine clinical expertise with a warm, approachable style that fosters trust and collaboration.

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental and emotional obstacles and believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience. With a focus on sexual trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, and serious and persistent mental illness, I am equipped to provide comprehensive mental health services to adults of any age. In addition to my clinical work, I am an animal lover and avid reader, and I bring these passions into my therapeutic approach. I welcome clients from all walks of life, including those who practice polyamory, open relationships, or other non-traditional relationship dynamics. Kink-friendly.

I believe with a little help, you can be your own change. If you've been struggling with addiction, trauma, or the weight of navigating life after contact with the justice system, I've spent more than 25 years working at exactly that intersection. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas with deep experience in the criminal justice, mental health, and substance use fields. Before private practice, I spent decades working directly with people the system had often already written off. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and co-occurring conditions.

I am open to listening to patient in order to using an evidence-based approach to treatment option

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 graduated from Southern Methodist University with Bachelors in Biology and Psychology before moving on to St. Edward's University to receive my Master's in Counseling. I am an LPC, was formerly an LCDC, and I am trained in EMDR, meaning I specialize in substance use and trauma. However, I'm here to help with normal life stress as well.
