About me
I am a couples expert. Helping couples being their best in relationships is my passion. I use experiential techniques to help couples solve conflicts, let go of old patterns and communicate better with each other. As a Certified PACT therapist, I can use different tools to help couples cope and overcome issues in their relationships. I also use my expertise to help individuals letting go of painful separation or divorce, and finding new love. I enjoy helping people whether they are in a relationship, leaving a current one or wanting a new love.
I have been working for more than 30 years helping individuals with depression, anxiety, pain management, symptoms management, and overcoming unhealthy habits using and eclectic approach that encompass mindfulness, CBT, and strategic solution focused, and hypnosis. I'm always curious to learn new approaches that will help my patients get better sooner.
Lilian Borges, LPC, helps people live their higher selves through working with individuals and couples in therapy, sharing insights through articles and her podcast, and appearing at conferences and through teaching engagements.
I am an experienced therapist, teacher, presenter, and podcaster who has treated individuals and couples for more than thirty years. Being binational myself, I can understand multicultural issues naturally, and perform and teach psychotherapy in Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
I am an expert in Ericksonian Hypnosis, which I teach both nationally and internationally and use with individuals and couples to become and live their best selves. I've trained professionals in hypnosis around the world for more than two decades.
I am a Certified PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) therapist, and am one of very few couples’ therapists to use hypnosis.
I use an array of techniques to help patients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, pain management, weight management, smoking cessation, etc.
Ericksonian hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and PACT are some of the approaches used in accepting, goal-oriented, and dynamic sessions.
I am co-host (with Rick Miller, LICSW) of the popular podcast Modern Couples.
