Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Lynnette Piña, the owner of Creative Waves Therapy and a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating (and honestly, even figuring out where to start can feel like a lot), so my goal is to make that first step feel a little less overwhelming. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full self, no judgment, no need to have the “perfect” words, and no pretending that everything is fine when it isn’t.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in trauma-focused therapy using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you process painful experiences that may still feel stuck or impact your life today. I’m passionate about walking alongside you as you reclaim your story, build resilience, and move toward feeling more connected, hopeful, and at peace.

Sometimes life can feel heavy, and it can be difficult to know how to move forward. Whether you’re carrying painful experiences, navigating relationships, or trying to understand yourself in a deeper way, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you begin your healing journey.

What you can expect from me

Before we meet, I’ll send you a few forms to complete through email, including consent forms and some information that will help me better understand what brings you to therapy and how I can best support you.

Our first session will be a time for us to get to know each other, talk about what you’ve been experiencing, and explore what you hope to work toward in therapy. We’ll discuss your history, current challenges, and goals so we can create a treatment plan that is personalized to your needs and supports your healing journey.
