I am a strong advocate for helping others start their journey and believe in themselves. Someone living with a mental illness can achieve mental wellbeing; likewise, someone who has never had mental illnesses could have a poor state of mental wellbeing.

CS Lewis wrote that you can't go back to the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to challenge themselves to change and grow when they can no longer accept the way they've been living; those who have a desire to find wisdom in some of life's inevitable challenges: our mistakes, our sorrow, and our fears. I love to assist clients as they construct meaning, gaining a better understanding themselves and others, and as they plan to move forward with intentionality after adversity.

Hello! My name is Micayla Lyons and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). My goal is to hold space for and provide support to those who are walking through challenging stages in their life. I firmly believe that no one should have to walk alone. Like the Willow tree, we can bend much farther than we sometimes believe, and I hope to aid you in learning to bend with life instead of breaking. I try my best to “protect my peace” and hope to help you be able to do this as well.

I serve clients in Ohio, Illinois, and DC. My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to fit each person I encounter. In general, I favor a relational approach that draws from psychodynamic perspectives. I understand how our earliest experiences and relationships can shape us, and I am deeply interested in what your early experiences and relationships taught you about the world. I also draw from third wave CBT modalities in order to assist you in unlearning those early lessons when needed. In this way, you can feel free to reshape living strategies which helped you to survive your past, but which are no longer serving you.

Being a parent of a struggling adolescent or young adult can be one of the most isolating and painful experiences of your life. Is your young person refusing to attend school, isolating in their bedroom, slamming the door in your face all while yelling “you don’t understand me!”? Our young people are struggling to make their way in this world and often the mental health system has not been helpful or addressed the very real stress and pain this puts on the entire family system. My experience in hospital settings supporting families in crisis and work within the school system has uniquely prepared me to support you on this journey.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
