Getting to know Lamar Sykes

Hi there, I'm Lamar! Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic techniques to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness and medication. Your goals and progress is my primary focus. My focus Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts and self-doubt? I work with young adults who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about the human brain and how it works, also the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my 14 years as a LMFT, I had the opportunity to work many different people from children to adults, couples and Veteran. My goals for you I feel that therapy is a partnership.
