Professional statement

Lidia's career stems from an innate desire to see others succeed in fulfilling their potential. This includes work with adults of all ages, children, adolescents, couples, and families. She considers herself a generalist in the field of therapy, and sees a wide range of psychological issues, such as depression, anxiety, and work/relationship stress.

These issues are often helped by an eclectic approach to treatment, not just to reduce symptoms, but to help people grow and reach both personal and professional goals. Lidia works collaboratively with her clients to develop reasonable short and long-term objectives, and helps clients to develop the appropriate skills to cope with their challenges in life. Lidia tailors her treatment plans to her clients' specific needs, which helps them make measurable gains. Clients have reported that she is warm, practical, and relatable.


Message to clients

Please know I offer a secure environment in which to work on your particular obstacles, both practical and psychological. I've found weekly, 45 minute sessions to be most efficient, but we can discuss alternatives based on your schedule and resources.

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting, so I can help you decide if we are a good therapeutic match. Please email me with questions you may have. I also offer a free phone consultation for any prospective client who is interested in working with me.
