Robert Lyons

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with over 12 years of clinical work experience. I have enjoyed helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, depression & anger management concerns. I also have experience helping clients around coping and problem-solving life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I have always wanted to help people uncover and embrace their whole self. I pursued psychology and social work studies in college and graduate school to establish a foundation to be able to offer just that. Throughout my 22 years in in the field of psychosocial functioning and mental health treatment, I have continued to enhance my knowledge and skills through everyday engagement with clients, as well as regular continued education and practice. I have enjoyed opportunities to meet people where they are and help them get to where they want to be. There is potential for small similarities in behavioral health therapies, so I do sometimes pull from a few to offer an integrative approach, though my primary focus tends to be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy.

We understandably take our thinking and experiences for granted sometimes, maybe not even noticing things until they’ve become unmanageable. It’s natural in a fast-paced, stressful world where we might be less attuned to ourselves than we otherwise might be. Negative thoughts and beliefs can consume us. I agree that focusing on the links between triggers, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can help us become more mindfully aware, as well as better prepared to cope and act with knowledge and intention.

It takes courage and strength to explore within and begin the first steps toward making a change. Are you ready? I am here for you.
