Meet Lidia
My name is Lidia Conners, and I am a licensed clinical social worker.
You have within yourself the power to overcome any difficulties. Many of our obstacles, past experiences, dysfunctions, and worries rob us from fully living and enjoying our lives. The way we view them might keep us stuck and unfulfilled. I can help you resolve those external and/or internal factors, identify patterns of thought and behavior - help you neutralize them, and encourage positive change and growth.
How I Can Help
Trauma, depression and anxiety.
I use Mindfulness and Self-Hypnosis to work with negative subconscious processes, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help with traumatic memories.Learn MoreTrauma
Depression is a mood disorder that may include a persistent feeling of sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, and isolation.Learn MoreDepression
A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.Learn MoreAnxiety
My Approach
Your healing, on your timeline.
At your pace.
I help clients, at their pace, overcome trauma, depression and anxiety by developing a plan geared toward calming the nervous system, addressing distorted beliefs about yourself, the world, and others. We will work together to identify triggers, manage emotions, and develop emotional regulation and coping skills, focusing on rediscovering your wholeness and becoming your true and authentic self.
Rewiring, with practice.
With practice, we can rewire our brains through the repetition of effective coping skills and neutralize maladaptive responses. This allows us to live our lives based on our possibilities, inner strength, potential, and talent; qualities acquired at birth and then unused. Through this work, we will be able to rediscover our authentic selves.
In English or Spanish.
I am bilingual which allows me to connect with clients that speak English or Spanish. I have a soft and direct approach that allows your healing on a timeline that suits your therapeutic needs.
