I help overwhelmed young adults and Millennial professionals who struggle with anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Does overthinking affect your day-to-day life or cause problems in relationships? Do you feel like you're the one that everyone comes to for help, but you have a hard time getting help for yourself? You're ambitious but you wonder if a balanced life is achievable. Now, more than ever, people are overwhelmed with juggling responsibilities, relationships, careers, and trying to find their place in life; but there is hope.

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.”

Life doesn't always go as planned. Sometimes illness, loss, or an unexpected transition can leave you feeling like a stranger to yourself. These experiences are more common than they appear, especially when you're someone who looks like they're holding it together on the outside while quietly carrying something heavy within. You don't have to carry it alone.

Asking for help can feel unattainable when you are already trying to find a reason to keep going. Whether you are overwhelmed with the "stuff" on your plate today or it has been something building for years, taking that first step can be difficult. Sometimes we need a place to talk things through, a place that is free from judgment. I know that I am not where I thought I'd be 5 years ago; life can be rough, but you do not have to do this alone.
