At My Holistic Wellness, we provide numerous services including the transformative power of holistic psychotherapy, coaching, wellness, and professional development services. Our unique approach recognizes the intricate connection between body, mind, spirit, and emotions, and we strive to provide care that addresses each of these components for comprehensive healing, growth, and goal achievement that is also deeply rooted in inclusivity and liberation.
Our Unique Approach and Philosophy
Commitment to Anti-Oppressive Practices
We are deeply committed to cultivating an anti-oppressive practice. We understand that societal structures, discrimination, and inequalities profoundly impact mental health and well-being. Our services are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and sensitive to the diverse experiences of our clients.
Culturally Responsive Care
We recognize that cultural background profoundly influences one’s experience and approach to healing. Our services are culturally responsive, providing care that respects and integrates the diverse identities and experiences of our clients.
Personal Transformation for Social Change
We believe in the power of personal transformation as a tool for broader social change. Our sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs, respecting and valuing your personal journey and background, while also ensuring a comprehensive approach towards your growth and healing rooted in optimal health and well-being.
Spirituality-Infused Wellness Approach
Our practice is grounded in a spiritual approach that values and incorporates a broad range of spiritual beliefs and practices. We believe in the power of spirituality as a tool for liberation, helping individuals find deeper meaning, purpose, and connection in their journey toward wellness.

Lydia Gordon
Therapist + Coach
Following her undergraduate studies in psychology, Lydia ventured into the start-up world at a health-tech startup and later joined a design agency with a social-impact focus. She eventually found her way back to her true passion of mental health and wellness.
Lydia’s anti-oppressive and inclusive approach welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds. She specializes in supporting those navigating difficult transition periods, those wanting to explore and embrace their various identities, and those hoping to improve their relationships. In her work with couples, she specializes in pre-baby counseling and interracial relationships. As an interracial adoptee (Black/Multiracial) raised by white parents, she possesses a unique perspective on adoption experiences and their impact on one's sense of self and security.
Lydia’s approach integrates talk therapy, movement, energy work, visualization, meditation, and writing. Infused with humor, creativity, and curiosity, her sessions are designed to facilitate profound self-discovery and acceptance. She believes that the full spectrum of human emotions is what makes us truly human, and her mission is to equip her clients with the tools to navigate and manage these emotions effectively, leading to a life of greater ease.
