Testimonials

  • "Dr. Warner is fantastic. She not only listens intently but she takes notes and makes a timeline of your life. She is the first therapist I have had in my whole life who I feel has provided valuable insights and offered a perspective on things I had not considered and is overall very kind and attentive. I wish I could see her for longer than 50 minutes per session!"

    - Former Client (Zocdoc Review)

Dr Warner brings an artistry to her work as she demonstrates remarkable flexibility by drawing on her eclectic style to meet diverse needs effectively. I am confident that her expertise and compassionate nature will continue to have a profound impact on those she works with."

    -Dr. Jessica Cesare, Ph.D. (Google Review)

  • “Lily helped guide me to understand the route of my anxiety. We worked together to find new behavioral tools to cope and manage it, which have helped a lot. She also encouraged me to seek a psychiatrist as I needed some medical support as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help in managing their stress and or anxiety."

    - 29 year old former client

  • "I had the privilege of working under Dr. Lily as a supervisee and I can confidently say she is an exceptional supervisor and a very knowledgeable clinician. Dr. Lily was my supervisor when I started working at a clinic and I could not have asked for a better supervisor as a new clinician. Dr. Lily fosters a warm, approachable demeanor which, combined with her deep clinical experience, creates an environment where learning and professional growth flourish. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Lily to anyone looking for a therapist or a clinical supervisor."

    -Olga Radecka, LCSW, Former Supervisee

  • ​“Always great sessions and always left feeling a little lighter than when I walked in. Lily is a wonderful listener and pushes you to think about the matters at hand to help resolve them, or at least live comfortably with them. Would recommend!”

    -23 Year Old Former Client

  • "Dr Warner is excellent at her craft. She is insightful, warm, intuitive and helps one in reaching their life goals. I recommend her entirely."

    -Elizabeth Abdo, LCSW (Google Review)

  • "Lily is professional, highly skilled and caring. She balances best clinical practice with empathy, making her a highly effective therapist. I would highly recommend Lily."

    - 39 year old former client

  • "Dr. Warner is a wonderful clinician who I have known for many years, and she is a trusted source for referrals. Her warm, creative, and empathetic approach makes it easy for clients to connect."

    - Emily Sharp, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC, RYT, BC-TMH (Psychology Today Review)

  • "Lily is a warm, positive and helpful therapist. She always treats every situation with patience, responds appropriately and provides a sense of direction or feedback when necessary. She has helped me through some of the toughest times I have experienced, helping me see the light."

    - 26 year old former client

  • "Dr. Warner is an exceptional clinician who brings a great deal of compassion, dedication and creativity to her practice. Her approach is warm and empathetic and her years of experience are clearly evident in her ability to understand and support clients."

    -Josh Intrator, MPS, LCAT

  • "I was apprehensive about seeking out therapy. Imagining the task of summarizing my experiences to a stranger was daunting to say the least. I also didn't know how to do it. Lily immediately made me feel at ease and worked out a pace and structure that worked for me. Throughout our time she nurtured a safe and productive space for me that more allowed me to work through my own self-progress rather than taking charge on it herself. I'm so happy with my first therapy experience and the tools it has provided me for my future self care."

    -20 year old former client

  • "I hired Lily as a clinical supervisor to assist me in my private practice journey. Lily was extremely helpful in guiding me through clinical decisions to best provide for my clients. I felt I was able to be open and really explore my therapeutic work in a non judgmental space with her. Private practice work can feel daunting at times when it is just you making the decisions, so it was truly beneficial for me to have someone as competent and experienced as Lily helping me out. She not only guided me through the process, but assisted me in coming to my own clinical conclusions so I could deepen my therapeutic skills. I look forward to having Lily as a collaborator in the future.​"

    - Laney Wallace, MPS, LCAT, ATR-BC

  • “Lily has been so helpful in my journey of discovering myself and finding out what makes me happy. She is not afraid to challenge me when I need it most, but is also so kind and understanding. I have truly enjoyed working with Lily.”

    -23 year old former client

  • "Lily is committed to using her multi-level clinical skills in a strength-based way that yields maximum expression and emotional support. Her skills in trauma work enable her to strategize interventions with clinical sensitivity. In addition, she is an insightful supervisor who guides her supervisees with clarity, professionalism and compassion. I highly recommend her."

    -Allyn Sitjar, MA, RDT, LCAT

  • "I have been a colleague of Dr. Warner for 8 years. She is experienced, competent and kind. I would highly recommend her."

    -Susan Jantzen, LCSW-R

  • "Lily is a talented, reliable, conscientious and hard working therapist who is very dedicated to her clients. She is self-reflective and self-aware which enables her to more accurately assess her work with clients and help them make meaningful changes, I highly recommend Lily!"
