I am dedicated to offering mental health services of the highest caliber. I am caring and provide comprehensive care to adolescents and adults. I bring strong clinical abilities along with a natural ability to connect with patients and their families. I follow recommendations grounded in evidence-based guidelines, clinical knowledge, and individual observation. As a PMHNP-BC, I serve in many roles, including public health educator and mental health advocate. My goal is to provide quality mental health care services to all.

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 received my first counseling license in 2015 in Indiana and my License as a Professional Counselor in Texas in 2017. I am EMDR trained. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autsim.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything else together. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to keep carrying those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain emotional balance, and reconnect with the life they want to live. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe healing takes place in an environment where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and supported. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, with a focus on creating a space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace and without judgment.

I specialize in supporting adults as they work through the lasting impact of past trauma, including early attachment wounds, parentification, and growing up with a parent who experienced mental health challenges. I also work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, and personality-related concerns, helping them deepen their understanding of their emotions and develop practical tools to foster greater stability, clarity, and ease.

My goal is to support you in reconnecting with yourself, strengthening your relationships, and building a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience in community-based services, hospitals, and outpatient therapy settings. I specialize in working with adolescents (13+) and adults, with a focus on supporting Black and Brown communities through culturally affirming care. My goal is to help you build self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and cultivate the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges and thrive as your authentic self.

I am a therapist who understands that everyone’s mind works differently. When you know your mind works differently from other people, you need a therapist whose mind works differently too. I have 15 years experience working with:

Neurodiverse folks (adhd, autism spectrum, sensory processing issues, AuDHD), animal people, grief and loss related to pets and people, menopause, elders, introverts, empaths, those experiencing social anxiety, isolation and/or loneliness, chronic health issues, life changes (including menopause) and life purpose. I also have experience working with the Native American community.

Being a "pre-elder", I've led many chapters of my life and have learned from every single one (even the cringey ones). It has taught me to focus on what is truly valuable and fulfilling and how to be comfortable just being me. I hope these things are cultivated in the therapeutic relationship with clients. My own neurospiciness allows me to connect with others that experience the world in a different way than neurotypical folks do, and my love for animals and kindness makes therapy with HSPs, empaths, introverts and animal people more connected as well.

I am licensed to practice in Washington state and Texas. I specialize in working with adult survivors of narcissistic, borderline, or antisocial (psychopathic) parents. I also work with people struggling with partners who have these disorders. I can help you learn to live without fear, understand your emotions better, and manage your trauma symptoms instead of them managing you. Life is too short to live in fear, to be continually overwhelmed by your emotions, or to be stuck in toxic relationships. I can help you find your way out.

With 1p years of experience my main goal for therapy is to provide a safe, accepting, comfortable space where you can be yourself and feel safe enough to work on whatever issues you wish to work on. My practice is respectful of people of every; race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, gender expression, religious belief, and other ways of being.

I'm here to help. I provide video therapy for clients who live in Washington and Texas. Please feel to email me for a free 30 minute phone consultation. Please email for the quickest response.
