Raymond Lyons

Hello, I'm David, and I'm here to support you on your journey to emotional well-being. As a Clinical Social Worker with an MSW and over two decades of experience, I've had the privilege of helping individuals and families navigate through some of life's most challenging moments. My work is deeply rooted in creating a trusting and safe environment where you can feel supported and understood. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, intimate relationship issues, or trauma, my goal is to help you build a foundation for long-term mental health management.

Since 2002, I've provided counseling services within various agencies, focusing on combat trauma, grief and loss, domestic violence, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. My extensive training includes certifications as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, and Certified Sex Therapy-Informed Professional. I'm also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Additionally, I've completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which I incorporate into my work with couples to help them strengthen their relationships.

In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and empathetic approach. I believe in the power of a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship to help you confront and process trauma, ultimately facilitating change and promoting emotional healing. Whether we meet in person or through SonderMind Video Telehealth, my commitment to your well-being remains steadfast.

Outside of my professional life, I value the importance of balance and self-care, which I encourage my clients to explore as well. I understand that reaching out for help can be a significant step, and I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create a path forward that feels right for you.
