Getting to know Lewis Thompson
Hi there, I'm Lewis!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I find joy in supporting and empowering those searching for healing and solutions to current struggles in daily life.
My approach
I approach therapy with the attitude that the client is the expert in their own lives, strive to build trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship, and embrace a non-judgmental and empathetic atmosphere. In turn, this leads to a collaborative effort where treatment goals are identified, prioritized, and a clear understanding of the therapeutic trajectory is established to allow for a positive experience for the client. During the therapeutic journey, I use common modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT, and Trauma-Based Interventions.
My focus
I specialize in supporting clients experiencing depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship conflict, mood disorders, and past trauma. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and families. I have experience working with diverse individuals, substance users, military veterans, the LGBTQ community, and faith-based clients.
My communication style
I am an active and reflective listener who takes a non-judgmental approach and strives to understand the unique experiences and perspectives of the client. I attempt to challenge clients using a supportive and empowering tone to aid in promoting positive change and identifying future vision.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because of a family member who struggled with behavioral and emotional issues that I struggled to understand. Therefore, this lack of understanding motivated me to enroll and complete my training at Brandman University. The driving force in continuing this work is that I believe that solutions to problems can be found, and happiness and peace are something everyone longs for.
