Getting to know Tedesha Lyons
As a dedicated psychotherapist with a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, my professional mission is to facilitate meaningful change and promote mental well-being for individuals navigating life's challenges.
By drawing from evidence-based practices, including cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and mindfulness techniques, I tailor therapeutic interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual. My goal is to empower clients with the skills and insights necessary to overcome obstacles, enhance self-awareness, and foster resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a psychotherapist, my primary focus is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions. I adopt an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor our sessions to your unique needs and goals. My style is collaborative, meaning we work together to uncover insights and develop strategies that empower you to overcome challenges and foster personal growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In working with clients, my process typically begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. This session allows us to establish rapport and gives me the opportunity to understand your unique background and concerns. Following this, I conduct a comprehensive assessment to gather more detailed information about your mental health history, current challenges, and any relevant life circumstances.
From there, we collaboratively set goals and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Sessions are structured around these goals, with a flexible approach that adapts as you progress. Throughout our work together, I emphasize open communication, encouraging feedback to ensure that therapy remains effective and aligned with your evolving objectives. Regular reviews of your progress are integral to the process, helping us refine strategies and celebrate achievements.

- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
