I am Lucy Mahan, therapist and owner of Transitional Counseling LLC. You probably have many questions as to what is going on in your life at this point and are wondering where to go for help and answers. Physical, emotional and environmental wellness all factor into one's mental health. Many issues can contribute to challenges with mental health including situational stressors such as loss, relationship conflicts, employment struggles and life transitions.
In addition to these stressors, some people struggle with issues from childhood or unhealthy patterns that sabotage their relationships. For many, there are also physical stressors such as chronic pain or a chemical imbalance. I recognize that everyone's situation is unique and make every effort to understand all aspects of one's life in order to reach an accurate diagnosis and deliver highly personalized treatment that maximizes your chances of success.
I am a dedicated professional therapist committed to providing quality mental health services.
