Hi! I’m Lia, a Mental Health Counseling-LP clinician at The Therapy Zone, currently working toward full licensure in New York State.
My goal as a developing clinician is to help individuals of all ages build lives that feel meaningful and worth living—lives rooted in agency, autonomy, and the freedom to make choices that align with their values and needs. In a world that can often feel uncertain, I believe there is power in recognizing what is within our control and identifying the small, meaningful steps we can take to create change in the here and now.
I am dedicated to fostering a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, wants, and needs, with plenty of room for self-discovery and growth. We spend so much of our lives pouring into others that it can be easy to neglect ourselves. Yet, we cannot pour from an empty cup. Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of choosing yourself and investing in your own well-being, and I strive to honor that courage throughout our work together.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic and individualized, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and person-centered principles. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I strive to meet each client where they are, honoring their unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, develop meaningful coping strategies, and build the confidence to navigate life’s challenges. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward growth and change!
Outside of the therapy room, I prioritize my own self-care by going to the gym, attending dance classes, taking walks with my dog, and spending quality time with loved ones. I also enjoy reading and love keeping up with the latest trending fiction novels!
