With all the joy and beauty life has to offer, pain is also a significant part of the human condition. When we are in the middle of it all we often become our own worst critic and lose objectivity. In my 74 years I have found there are acceptable alternatives to most situations. I would be honored to help you explore. Sincerely, Lou Lile B.S. / M.A. / LPC / Personal Website: LouLile.com I emphasize Schema-Focused Therapy which is an integrative approach to treatment that combines aspects of cognitive-behavioral, experiential, interpersonal and psychoanalytic strategies. I also integrate Logotherapy (meaning in life) and Existential Therapy into my counseling. I am a NADA Certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist.

Attitudes and beliefs toward those with mental health issues still carry a stigma with some individuals and employers. Most insurance providers require a mental health diagnosis in order to pay.
