Dr. Lenora Ivy

Hello, I’m Dr. Lenora Ivy (she/her) and I commend you for taking a step in a new direction by visiting this website. Every choice we make is an opportunity to move toward the lives we desire and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. My ideal client is open-minded and ready for change; after all, if we keep doing the same things we will likely yield similar results. Sometimes change can be scary, but my goal is to highlight your personal strengths/interests and support you in identifying and implementing the steps necessary to move you toward your mental health goals and life desires. If you are not sure what your strengths/interests are, that’s okay, we can explore that during our time together. If you decide to connect with me (and I hope you do), our first meeting will be an Intake Evaluation. Before the Intake Evaluation you will be asked to complete intake paperwork via our online client portal. During the Intake Evaluation you will have an opportunity to ask me questions about the therapeutic process and I will ask you questions that will help me begin to determine how to best support you in reaching your goals. After the Intake Evaluation you may schedule Psychotherapy Sessions that will last approximately 50 minutes. During Psychotherapy Sessions we will define your specific therapeutic goals and areas for support, and begin the journey toward helping you find solutions to your concerns, learn healthy coping strategies, and evolve into an elevated version of yourself. I look forward to meeting you! Feel free to text/call or send a message if you have a preferred appointment time that is not currently available on the calendar. Want to know a bit more about me?

She views clients holistically, aims to validate clients’ experiences, and helps clients move toward identifying solutions that will allow them to live the lives they desire.
