Lydia Burijon, MSW

 

My name is Lydia and I am a dedicated master’s level social worker with a master’s degree from Baylor University. Let me begin by extending a warm welcome to you! My approach starts with the therapeutic relationship and the comfortability of my clients. I am passionate about creating a safe environment where my clients feel at ease to be themselves. I lead with a strengths-based perspective and reflect biblical principles including but not limited to compassion, truth, and grace. Known for my warm and humorous approach, I use light-heartedness to alleviate anxiety and tension, making it easier for my clients to openly share their thoughts and feelings. 

 

I specialize in Functional Family Therapy which focuses on enhancing family relationships and improving communication. My background includes: psychiatric crisis intervention, advocacy, disaster relief, adoption, human trafficking, and case management. With profound commitment, I intertwine solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to empower my clients to embrace comprehensive wellness.

 

Through a diverse blend of contemporary social work practices and biblical principles, I help to foster growth in individuals and families. I practice faith-based perspectives, believing that spiritual well-being is integral to holistic healing. Additionally, I strive to empower clients to navigate challenges, build resilience, and find hope through both practical support and spiritual guidance. My framework includes integrating mental health skills training to provide practical tools for application and change.

 

Together, we collaborate on setting realistic goals, problem solving, and learning adaptability. I encourage clients to practice self-compassion and seek balance not perfection. My clients and I will acknowledge the small wins and celebrate progress in all areas no matter how small. I am grounded in a deep respect for the dignity and worth of every person which is reflected in my client-centered style.

 

Thank you for considering me to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges. I look forward to supporting you in this process.
