Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist in Houston, Texas

Therapy should be a place where you can bring your whole self—not just the parts that are easiest to explain.

I’m Lynn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Life Wellness Therapy. I work with teens and adults who may be navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, identity, relationships, or significant life transitions.

Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others simply know that something feels different, heavier, or no longer sustainable. You do not need to have the perfect words before you begin.

My role is to help you slow things down, better understand what is happening beneath the surface, and develop ways of responding that feel more intentional, grounded, and aligned with the life you want to live.

Therapy That Looks at the Whole Person

Our experiences do not live only in our thoughts.

Stress, trauma, relationships, loss, and major life changes can influence how we think, feel, connect with others, and respond in our bodies. Because of that, my approach to therapy considers the whole person rather than relying on one technique or treating every concern the same way.

Depending on your needs and goals, our work may incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and somatic practices.

The goal is not to fit you into a particular modality. It is to thoughtfully choose approaches that support the work we are doing together.

Experience That Informs the Work

I bring more than a decade of mental health experience across clinical, correctional, legal, and community settings.

Working with people across very different environments has reinforced something I believe deeply: behavior makes more sense when we understand the experiences, relationships, systems, and circumstances surrounding it.

That perspective shapes the way I practice therapy—with curiosity, compassion, clinical intention, and respect for the complexity of each person’s story.

I am also a licensed attorney in Texas and Maryland. My legal and clinical backgrounds are distinct professional roles, but both have strengthened my understanding of advocacy, systems, human behavior, and the importance of helping people feel informed and empowered.

Legal services are not provided through Life Wellness Therapy.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

You can expect therapy to be collaborative.

I may ask questions, offer observations, teach skills, challenge patterns when appropriate, or help you notice what is happening in your body and nervous system—not simply ask, “How does that make you feel?” for an hour.

There may be sessions where we do deep therapeutic work and others where what you need most is space to think, process, breathe, and regroup.

You do not have to perform in therapy.

You are allowed to arrive uncertain. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to laugh. You are allowed to need time before talking about something difficult.

We work from where you actually are.

Who I Work With

I provide psychotherapy for teens ages 14+, young adults, and adults through midlife and beyond.

Clients may seek therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, identity development, stress, emotional exhaustion, or major life transitions.

In-person sessions are available in Houston, Texas, with virtual psychotherapy available throughout Texas.

A Little More About My Story

Life Wellness Therapy grew from my belief that excellent mental health care can be both clinically grounded and deeply human.

I wanted to create a practice where evidence-based psychotherapy, thoughtful attention to the mind-body connection, and genuine human connection could exist in the same room.
