Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Lubbock, TX covered by Aetna

I am an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in her approach are that treating anxiety, depression, relationship dysfunction, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, trauma, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process.

You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with the effects of trauma, navigating depression, or trying to better understand ADHD, therapy can provide a safe space to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with teens, young adults, and families who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges. I have been working with teens for 10 years in the juvenile system. I started off as a supervision officer in juvenile detention in the long-term program. I moved position to case manager in juvenile probation. Now I am a counselor for Juvenile probation. I understand that every person's story is unique, and I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

Whether you're a teen navigating life's pressures, a young adult adjusting to new responsibilities and transitions, or a family looking to improve communication and connection, I am committed to meeting you where you are. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but you don't have to do it alone. When you're ready, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and emotional well-being.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.

Teresa Lyons, M.Ed., LPC, is a caring mental health professional and community advocate with over 25 years in education and more than 30 years in ministry. She has a heart for helping people find hope and healing as they navigate grief, chronic illness, and life’s challenges. Teresa specializes in academic, emotional, and spiritual care and is passionate about walking alongside others with compassion, encouragement, and wisdom. “I chose to become a counselor because of the impact counseling had on me as a young adult. At a time when I struggled to find purpose, value, and self-love, my counselor offered compassionate yet firm guidance that left a lasting mark on my life. That experience inspired me to dedicate my work to helping others discover hope, healing, and their own sense of worth.”

I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.

In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.

Many of us have "big T" Traumas like abuse or near death experiences. All of us have some "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected by others. Part of us gets stuck back when the no-good-dirty-rotten-thing happened, but you don't have to stay there. You can be free of the grip of both big T and little t traumas.

You are welcome to call or email me for a free 20 minute consultation about whether or not I can help you.

I believe everyone can improve their quality of life

As your therapist, my goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you heal. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, stress, trauma, personality disorders and other mental health issues. I currently provide services to clients 18 years and older. I have experience in working with individuals, couples and families. I serve the LBGTQ+ community, young adults, college students, and older adults.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate complex trauma/CPTSD, social anxiety, relationship dynamics, and workplace stress. I work with both teens and adults to address anxiety, depression, perfectionism, work-life balance, and healing from childhood trauma or complex family dynamics. Therapy can help with overcoming fears in social situations, boosting motivation, reducing excessive guilt, and managing stress related to academics or work as well as address issues such as fears of abandonment, putting others' needs before their own, setting healthy boundaries, achieving personal goals, and processing past trauma.

Our practice has openings for in person and virtual appointments. We believe therapy can help alleviate distress in times of crisis, but is also important as a regular part of wellness. We accept several insurance plans via Headway as well as offer low cost self-pay options.
