Hello! My name is Lynn Lynes and I am a psychotherapist licensed to practice in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. I have experience working with all ages, but my passion is working with teens and young adults; lots of young folks are experiencing Depression and suicide thoughts, Anxiety, Panic, OCD, substance abuse, PTSD, and/or Trauma. Most of us are resilient and can work through distressing events and overwhelming stress; however sometimes symptoms interfere with our ability to function to our full potential. That’s when it’s time to seek out an expert who can teach coping skills and provide a safe place to talk about stuff.

You are the one who always worries, but that’s just how you are. It’s a part of your personality. However now, you are starting to feel stressed and overwhelmed by mundane things in life. The idea of doing simple things feels like too much. At times, you worry for not worrying! You are trapped in the mental chatter and you just wish the world would stop for a second so you could get a moment of relief. You don’t have to be lost in your thoughts, feeling hopeless. I help anxious people like you become aware of their emotions and thoughts. I give tools to help you feel calmer and to quiet your mind.

I work with clients to create a safe and affirming relationship so that there is room for healing and growth. My work with each client is unique, however central to my work is respect for your issues, concerns, and the challenges you face in your life. I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to create the changes that you are seeking in your life. I am comforatable working with a wide variety of issues from career and work life to recovering from childhood trauma and abuse.

Do you find yourself feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck? Are you experiencing anxiety, grief, sadness, loneliness, or other difficult, overwhelming emotions? Have you experienced trauma? You do not have to struggle alone. In working with clients, I use an integrative approach to help adolescents and adults develop coping skills and improve their mental health while both identifying and accomplishing their goals. I particularly enjoy working with the LGBQ+ and trans and disabled communities. I believe that anyone can truly thrive with the proper support, understanding, and resources throughout the therapeutic journey.

Are you suffering with anxiety, anger, severe grief, or relationship issues? Is your child experiencing behavior or academic issues in school? Is your partner in the throes of addiction, while creating a stressful environment at home? Maybe it's trauma, or a social issue that you or a family member is dealing with. I can help you create a plan that will leave you feeling supported, as opposed to just being heard. I am a highly skilled mental health clinician who understands the challenges of today's highly stressed world. Together, the solution awaits us!

I think of therapy as a way of freeing ourselves from the obstacles which prevent us from moving forward in our lives. Frequently these obstacles present themselves to us in the challenges of the outer world--in problems at work, in difficult relationships, in adapting to life changes, or in the sudden impact of a traumatic event. And sometimes what stands in the way of our freedom and happiness lies within us, as negative thought patterns, conflicting or confusing emotions, and unexpressed feelings--all of which can result in depression, anxiety, chronic illness, low self esteem--burdens we often carry alone.
