Lydia Anthony

LPC, LCMHC

My name is Lydia Anthony, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I am the owner of Rejoice in the Rain Counseling. Do you feel powerless against the whirlpool of rapid changes? Do you feel drowned by the downpour of fear, worry, and anxiety? Is it hard to see beyond the dark clouds of depression? Perhaps you feel swept away by the waves of past hurt, regret, and guilt. Or caught up in a cyclone of self-doubt and insecurity. Let me be your companion as we navigate these storms that represent the struggles in life! Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s always a glimmer of hope waiting to be discovered. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult time or simply pursuing personal growth, you're not alone. I build each therapeutic relationship on the principles of safety, trust, respect, empathy, and support. I provide trauma-informed care that goes beyond listening; I also provide education, guide you in those deep conversations, and brainstorm solutions with you. One of my strengths is that I see systemic challenges faced by various groups. I take a community-oriented approach to connect you with essential resources so you can focus on your healing journey without worry. My style is unique in that I think creatively and outside-of-the-box. If you would like more information on my services, please visit my website: www.rejoiceintheraincounseling.com I look forward to working with you!

Becoming a counselor wasn’t just a career choice for me; it was a heartfelt journey inspired by my own experiences with depression, anxiety, and grief. I’ve learned that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s always a glimmer of hope waiting to be discovered. It’s this philosophy that drives my practice: a belief that things will get better, but even now in the darkness, you can find meaning, inspiration, and beauty. Whether you’re looking for extra support during a difficult time or simply seeking personal growth, know that you’re not alone. A space of warmth, empathy, and healing awaits you!
