--
Hi! My name is Lily Shepherd (She/her/hers), and I am an associate professional clinical counselor. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors, going to the beach, hiking, or traveling.
I love working with...
People who feel stuck in life and want to make changes to live more authentically. People who have experienced trauma or loss and need help navigating their new world, and teens and young adults who are struggling with identity and self-esteem.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Some of my favorite approaches include...
Client-centered and trauma-informed
Acceptance and commitment therapy
Internal family systems
Existential/meaning-making
Creative therapy
How I help...
Life can throw challenges our way, and I believe we can learn to sail these waves with the right tools. I am here to help walk alongside you to live an authentic life with purpose. I want you to feel respected, safe and connected in our session. Authenticity is essential to me and I will bring that to each session. Together we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful connections.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe...
Healing is holistic; incorporating the mind, body, and spirit is essential
People are meaning-making beings
The quality of relationships affects the quality of our life
Genuine respect is the foundation of a strong relationship
What it's like in session with me
The start of any therapeutic relationship starts with building trust and respect. Building rapport is the first step in the therapy journey. Having clients feel safe, supported and heard is my top priority. I bring in individualized interventions and add them to your therapy toolbox. I help individuals determine what they have in control of their life, what is out of their power, and how to work with both.
