About Lys-An
Lys-An Record, MA, MFT-C
Hello! I'm so happy you're here. I know that it can be unsettling and sometimes confusing to look for a therapist. The importance of finding a good fit is crucial and the process can feel daunting. It is courageous to take steps toward change when the status quo feels if sometimes miserable, at least known. I believe that purposeful growth, gentle self-confrontation, and deep emotional work can move us forward to greater meaning in our life's journey. I also believe that we heal and move forward primarily within important relationships. In my work with couples, families, and individuals, I have seen inspiring reconnection, brave self mastery, tender forgiveness, and the healing that comes with true intimacy.
As a mother, wife, sister and daughter, my interest in relationships is old. I can't remember not being a student of how we all fit together and influence one another as humans. That probably explains why I decided to get a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art therapy. Incorporating a humanistic and creative perspective, I love helping others explore their own foundational relationships, starting with self and moving outward to loved ones and community.
Developing loving, secure, and confident relationships with ourselves and those we cherish, rooted in integrity and compassion, is life’s most meaningful pursuit. The high value inherent in deep, sincere connection can render these relationships difficult to navigate. Gently exploring emotions and learning to turn towards ourselves and those we care for with tenderness can reveal love’s restorative power. Working together, we will establish goals and seek to heal woundedness, increase connection, and discover your innate power to walk towards living with greater joy, purpose, and clarity.
I have experience and love working with couples, families, adult individuals, teenagers and children. I believe in creating a warmhearted, purposeful, responsive, and trusting space where together we can explore life’s beauty and complexity.
