Dr. Daniel Lydon is a licensed clinical psychologist who works with older adolescents, adults, and older adults.
He specializes in treating anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, depression, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and adjustment to complex medical conditions, including cancer and chronic pain.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy with me begins with a 60-minute intake assessment focused on understanding your concerns, personal history, strengths, and goals for treatment. From there, we collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. I see most clients for 45-minute weekly sessions, though frequency can vary depending on clinical needs and recommendations. Throughout the process, I emphasize a supportive therapeutic relationship, skill-building, and helping clients move toward greater emotional flexibility, clarity, and resilience.
