Lilliam Pastora, LMHC

I’m Lilliam Pastora, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, and difficult life patterns. I work especially well with clients who feel stuck in self-criticism, shame, fear, or emotional overwhelm and want to create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is warm, collaborative, direct, and nonjudgmental. I use evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, DBT, ACT, CBT, and trauma-focused interventions while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs. Together, we explore your experiences, identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness and self-trust.

My goal is to provide a safe space where you feel understood while also being encouraged to grow. Sessions are thoughtful, practical, and insight-oriented, with a focus on helping you regulate emotions and improve your relationship with yourself.

New clients should know that I am warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, while also honest and direct. I strive to create a space where you feel safe and understood, but I will also encourage you to examine difficult patterns and consider new ways of responding.

Our sessions may be deep, reflective, and practical. Together, we will explore your experiences, build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful changes that align with your values. Therapy is tailored to your needs and progresses at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
