Hello! My name is Lynne Pier, LCSW. Through my 23 years of experience in clinical social work, I have expertise in working with diverse populations across various agencies, including a rewarding and challenging 8-year tenure within the school system. As someone who struggled with anxiety and depression as a teenager, I am able to better relate to teens that are struggling with their mental health. Because of this, I am most passionate about working with children with severe mental health issues between 6-16, those struggling with ADHD, depression, ptsd, and anxiety.
What I value most in therapy is the personal connection that is created through the therapeutic process. I feel that it is important to ensure a non-judgmental environment that promotes integrity and compassion. I hope to create a therapeutic environment that promotes healing, growth, and positive change for my clients. Parents play a major role in the therapeutic process. They know their child the best and are valued partners when it comes to therapy with children. Involving parents in therapy is vital for ensuring the adolescent’s ability to bring the therapeutic work into the “real” world.
A bit about me: I enjoy spending time with my family which includes 2 kids, 2 dogs, a turtle and my husband of 14 years. We frequent Cayuaga Lake in our free time and can be found swimming, hiking, bike riding, fishing or relaxing in the sun.
