Like the Egyptian Phoenix, who rises from the ashes, people have the ability to regenerate themselves from traumatic & negative life experiences, & transform their pain & hardship into sources of strength. It is my role as a psychotherapist to be present with you on your personal journey of growth & self-discovery & to help facilitate a deeper, more authentic connection with yourself & others in your life. Through inner work cultivating & encouraging deeper self-awareness along with compassion for one's self & others, clients can connect with their own innate sense of self & wholeness.

My name is Taalya Areli, LMFT, PhD. My approach is holistic and acknowledges that you are more than your thoughts and more than your struggles. I believe in taking your mind, body, and spirit on the healing journey. I specialize in both traditional and integrative approaches; CBT, psychodynamic, existential/humanistic, inner child and parts work, expressive art, as well as energy psychology, transpersonal psychology/consciousness and integration of non-ordinary experiences, hypnosis for stress reduction, visualizations, exploration of ancestral influences, and more.

Psychotherapy is a journey of discovery. It helps to reveal a better understanding of your true self, and can assist in the development of healthier, more fulfilling relationships with others. You and I will set the destination and collaborate to bring about a more optimal way of being. My goal is to work side by side with you in a safe and supportive environment. My therapeutic approach is viewed through a holistic, transpersonal lens - working with the mind, body, and spirit in a deep and intentional way.

If life is suffering, as it was said long ago, what is the meaning of both suffering and life? The real secret seems to be that through suffering we transcend suffering. Engaging in our legitimate suffering – manifesting as anxieties and depressions – brings us beyond the narrow egocentric view into a broader compassion and understanding, which is essentially a place of peace. I am not here to heal you but to help guide you to the place of self-healing. I have seen enough of both suffering and self-healing to know whereof I speak. Let's talk about what troubles you and find your unique path to resolution and acceptance.

Whether you find what you're looking for on my page, or another's, I am so proud of you for getting to this step. There can be great benefits to expressing and exploring thoughts, feelings, inner conflicts, emotional wounds in a safe space. Like many clinicians, I employ a wide range of modalities and interventions. I use a strength based approach, one that's honest, non-judgmental, but direct and explorative. You deserve happiness, a fulfilling life, and I'd be honored to walk alongside your journey to discovery and change. Although we are shaped by our experiences, you are so much more than what has happened to you.

Welcome. My name is Lynnell Holtby, MFT 41129. My approach to therapy focuses on connecting with and meeting you from a heart-centered space and in union creating desired personal and life changes. I focus on the "whole" person, integrating spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being to help you develop a deeper understanding on all levels. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, codependency, self-worth, grief, and relational issues.

I am dedicated to helping clients gain more insight, balance, and happiness in their lives. Together we can uncover underlying reasons for symptomatic behaviors and emotions and address those to learn healthier, more productive and beneficial ways to deal with challenging situations. As a transpersonal therapist, my goal is to help clients gain greater self-knowledge and richer inner lives. Identifying areas of concern and learning ways to heal and triumph adversity can be challenging; however, I believe that together we can produce meaning from them and become resilient.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy. Traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment tends to focus on what makes you sick, what you are lacking but at The Mindful Lemon, our clinicians let you sit in the driver’s seat, focusing on your strengths and assets to help you become the best version of you! This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness and fitness or any combination of the above.

As a therapist, I believe in the power of connecting with your intuitive self as a pathway to healing and personal growth. My approach is grounded in the belief that each person holds an inner wisdom capable of guiding them through life's challenges. My role is to support you in developing a deep trust in your own truth, helping you to uncover and strengthen this inner voice.

During my 30+ years of clinical practice I find myself working particularly effective with important life transition stages, i.e. adolescents, young adult, mid-life, later-life. I view issues of loss, marriage, divorce, identity, vocation and aging as doorways to a deeper and more actualized life. Out of intensive study, practice, and my own life experiences, I meet the client at their own unique crossroad. Together we engage in a journey of symptom-relief, discovery and new possibilities. I am an active and engaging therapist...learning from hundreds of private practice clients & families & additional hundreds of agency participants.

When deciding to see a therapist, it is important to find a fit that is right for you. This is why my practice aims to provide deep and safe sessions that ignite real insight, exploration, hope and change. You need a safe space, knowledgeable support and a collaborative effort. With over a decade of working in counseling psychology and extensive postgraduate work in depth psychology, dreams, and more, I am confident that our time together can help you discover the infections beneath difficult symptoms, the hidden treasure within our greatest obstacles and desired support at a pace that is right for you.
