Meet Lily Haynes, LICSW
Has traditional talk therapy not quite worked for you? Lily would love to help you try a different approach. While talking things out can be valuable, Lily believes it shouldn’t be the only tool in the toolbox. Her goal is to help clients heal from what they’re struggling with, not just cope. This means guiding individuals to the root of their inner experiences and fostering a deeper connection to themselves, their lives, and others by using a somatic and IFS focused approach. You’ll also learn tangible tools to help regulate your body and shift your relationship to your thoughts- so that things like worry spirals and critical thoughts have less ability to drag you down the rabbit hole.
Lily most often works with people who struggle with experiences like anxiety (both mental and physical), relational concerns, attachment issues, feelings of depression, people pleasing, perfectionism, critical inner dialogue, trauma, processing childhood experiences, feeling confused by your feelings, trouble slowing down, and who are working on figuring out who they are/want to be. Lily also works with couples who want to work on communication, meeting each other’s needs, and more deeply understanding one another.
Lily is trained in internal family systems (IFS) and uses it as her primary approach. She also values the relationship between the mind and body; blending in somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and values work. Lily aims to help you understand the different parts of you, resolve inner conflict, release painful experiences and beliefs so that they don’t continue to rule your present moments, and guide you to finding your way to feeling safe and resilient in your body.
As a relationally oriented therapist, she emphasizes collaboration, careful listening, encouragement, and humor. Believing that you are the expert of your own life, her role is to support the strengthening of your relationship with yourself.
