Specializing In Helping Children, Adolescents, Couples & Families
FIND FREEDOM, ACCEPTANCE AND JOY
Welcome!
Everyone has something. Every family has something – something we struggle with, hoping it will magically disappear, fix itself, or that we can throw away.
We try stuffing away feelings of frustration, anxiety, anger, guilt, sadness, disappointment, fear, regret, or shame… Until they resurface again.
No matter what you or your family’s “something” is, identification and acknowledgement is the first step in beginning a personalized journey of discovery, understanding, awareness, and lastly, acceptance.
Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.
Whether I am working with frantic parents of a newborn, a toddler who has elected himself boss of the home, a child who has continues to disobey at school, an adolescent believing his parents are stupid, a broken-hearted college girl, a couple dealing with infidelity, or a family who has experienced the death of a child, I make a practice to meet my patients where they are emotionally.
I want each person I work with to know they do have a voice, and by becoming accountable, they can change their lives for the better.
Our Unique Approach
My patients describe me as having an “out-of-the-box” approach with kids as well as adults. My office is purposefully designed to not be the typical clinical setting. Having no desire for a standard office setting, I created instead an atmosphere of uniqueness, comfort, and safety.
My support team includes a 39-pound Sulcata Tortoise, our Golden Retriever therapy dog and chicks!

I Am Woman, Hear me Roar…

Why Divorce is Harder on Men than Women
People don’t enter marriages planning to divorce. Divorce is the result of a lack of knowledge and preparation for marriage and the failure to commit to learning the skills of working together as a team in creating a successful intimate relationship. -Becky Lennox 1.

Pet Therapy: The Secret Weapons
The Secret Weapons I know. Our “team” here at Becky Lennox Counseling is not the norm. The “team” is not what most would expect to see when going to a counseling session.

The Art of Experiential Therapy
We know kids learn by doing (hands -on learning). As adults, I am not sure it ever enters our mind that a silly art activity can serve as a tool for growth we too can gain by experiential (art) therapy. Oh, let me guess…”we are adults now”. We are smart, educated, mature, knowledgeable, sophisticated, established, […]
Cancer in a Post Office Box
When told the news, I instantly felt that all too familiar gut feeling…. The one that immediately takes you to a familiar place. There I was again, mentally scanning the internal post office boxes created in my mind. My precious dad was a commercial airline pilot. I once asked him, “Daddy, how do you know […]

Part 3: Out of the Mouths of Babes…. Chase – age 17- Heroin
Several years ago, I received a phone call from the emergency room around 3:00 am. A nurse politely introduced herself and told me she had a 17-year-old male patient who had overdosed on heroin, been placed on life support, and transferred to the Intensive Care Unit. My business card was folded up and found in […]
