Hello and welcome. My name is Lilian Guidry, and I’m a marriage and family therapist intern in the state of Texas. I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University.
My Background
I had a career as an engineer before experiencing a midlife disruption that changed my life and inspired me to pursue a graduate degree in systemic psychology. I'm naturally a systems thinker- as an engineer, it was mechanical systems and as a counselor,r it's systemic psychology.
What is systemic psychology?
Marriage and family therapy looks at psychology from a systems perspective. Rather than focusing on a part of the system in isolation, it looks at the part as it applies to a whole. From a psychological perspective, it's looking at issues in context to the family of origin, intergenerational patterns, culture, race, gender, etc.

Therapeutic Approach
My clients know themselves and their lives better than anyone else. My therapeutic approach is custom-tailored to each client. I use narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy, and the Gottman method.
Through a collaborative therapy process, I walk alongside my clients as they uncover underlying emotions and patterns, identify personal meaning and purpose, highlight strengths, and facilitate change where needed.
