Laila S. Lyons, M.S., A-LPC/MHSP (#8127)

Laila Lyons holds a master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a certified somatic, trauma, and grief-informed practitioner. She blends 20+ years of Ashtanga yoga teaching and mindfulness with evidence-based psychotherapy and relational, body-aware approaches to care.

With lived experience in the entertainment industry, Laila brings a nuanced understanding of the unique stressors faced by touring artists, musicians, and their support teams—identity disruption, relational strain, emotional fatigue, and the challenge of staying grounded while in constant motion.

Laila has a particular strength in making telehealth feel less like a limitation and more like a steady point of connection. For clients navigating travel, tour cycles, and irregular schedules, she approaches virtual care as a touchstone—a place to land, regulate, and remain emotionally tethered amid transition. She specializes in identity, self-worth, complex trauma, anxiety, recovery, and couples or team dynamics.

Laila is a CMA member, an active Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor’s member, and an NSAI member. Her work grounds in emotional congruence and sustainable wellbeing, helping creatives find balance, clarity, and joy without sacrificing their craft. “What stings most to see or say out loud is often what saves us—opening a threshold to freedom.”
