Lillian is excited to join ABT counseling as a licensed Resident in Counseling. She has a unique background with which to serve you. She received her BA in Music and Psychology, and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a specialization in music therapy. Currently she is pursuing a PhD in applied Developmental Psychology related to her passion and compassion for serving and advocating for individuals and families who are living with a neurodivergent diagnosis or symptoms. Lillian is a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC), which qualifies her to incorporate unique interventions when talk therapy alone is not enough. She is also certified as a Neurologic Music Therapist (NMT).
Lillian’s work is trauma-informed and strengths based. She believes that you (the client) have unique strengths that, when recognized, can support you in your journey to wellness. She enjoys empowering you to overcome barriers that are preventing you from living a healthy life. She utilizes musical and non-musical techniques and approaches to help you discover harmony with yourself and with others. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you recognize how thoughts and feelings impact your outward behavior. She asks questions based on motivational interviewing (MI) to help guide conversations towards positive changes in your life. Her therapeutic style can be described as experiential and humanistic, the specific approach depends on your needs, age, cultural background, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and any other personal identities that are important to you. She fervently believes that each person is the expert on their own life, and herself serving as a guide to your wellness.

Her experience includes empowering and treating clients who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), mood disorders such as intermittent explosive disorder (IED) and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She is experienced with and enjoys facilitating groups, family groups to improve relationships and communication, as well as team building skills for non-family groups. Each individual or group session is a uniquely personalized experience towards healing through therapeutic relationship and process.
