What should a new client know about working with you?
Hi there! My name is Lonnie, and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board-Certified Master's Level Addiction Professional. I have worked with clients of all ages from various levels of outpatient treatment, detox, residential treatment, and inpatient treatment over the past 24 years. My specialties are your routine mood disorders (depression, anxiety, anger, & etc.), self-esteem issues, substance abuse, concentration matters, couples/marital problems, and family therapy matters.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I tend to take a very eclectic, creative, and out-of-bounds approach to the therapy experience. I feel that by no means should therapy be boring and/or non-engaging. I care about my clients, and they see my concern in our live interactions. I understand psychological disorders very well, and believe in taking a holistic approach to recovery. I mentor my clients by bridging research and experience.
After a therapy session with me, my clients should expect either one of two things: to walk away feeling empowered or more enlightened by the experience. I teach and inspire utilizing the growth mindset.

I always leave my sessions better than I went into them. No matter the topic we deal with it and find solutions. I couldn’t have chosen a better therapist than Lonnie. He makes it easy to open up and get to the root of a problem. I would recommend and have recommended him to friends and family.
