Our mission and values

Our mission at LMV Counseling is to change lives by partnering in the powerful process of developing and cultivating the belief that each individual is a deserving and worthy human being.

Three components are essential to fulfilling this mission:

  • Love – We extend love to all and carry that love until our clients can see it for themselves.
  • Mindfulness – We value mindful living and aim to develop a gentle, kind, and creative awareness of the present moment.
  • Vulnerability – We invite our clients to be courageous and open, knowing that change happens when we allow ourselves to be seen.

Our clinicians are genuine, balanced, and professional. We aim to provide a counseling experience that is prompt, kind, and valuable, becoming our community’s trusted choice for compassionate and effective care.

Our areas of focus

We work with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including:

Our therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and, where appropriate, Internal Family Systems (IFS).
