Wanda L. Lacy, Ed.S., LPC-S, NCC, ACS, BC- TMH
Licensed Professional Counselor

THE THERAPY OFFICE
Created with you in mind to feel safe and comfortable.
While in counseling, difficult emotions may arise and unpleasant memories uncovered. Individuals may at times feel sadness, guilt, or anxiety, as a part of the process of finding healing. It is not uncommon (especially when dealing with trauma) for symptoms to worsen before improving. Some of these risks are to be expected anytime people make important changes for the better.
Your personal development is my number one priority. I encourage you to let me know if you feel that terminating therapy or transferring to another therapist is necessary at any time. My goal is to facilitate healing and growth, and I am very committed to helping you in whatever way seems to produce maximum benefit.
MY APPROACH TO COUNSELING
Counseling involves an investment of Time, Energy and Finances.
It is important that you feel comfortable with your
counselor and be knowledgeable about their approach to counseling. It is my belief that as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding a sense of peace and contentment in their lives. However, self- awareness and self-acceptance are goals that may take some time to achieve. Some clients need only a few sessions to achieve these goals, whereas others may require months or even years of therapy. As a client, you are in complete control, and you may end your relationship with me any time you desire.

It takes great courage to begin the process of counseling. I am happy to have you here.

WHAT IS MY GOAL AS YOUR COUNSELOR?
The goal of my work with you is to help guide you toward an enhanced self-image, spiritual connection, and worldview by replacing faulty beliefs with truths. My role is to listen in a non-judgmental way, ask thought-provoking questions, and provide feedback.
