Lana Henley Spera

Lana trained in modern psychoanalysis and in-group studies.  Her clinical background is extensive with experience ranging from psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse clinics, and private practice psychotherapy.  She worked in an Employee Assistance Program offering private sessions both for mandatory and non-mandatory client referrals.  She presented workshops on topics such as conflict resolution, team building, and management styles.  Lana understands people’s need to feel heard, understood, valued, and validated.

​

Addressing emotional and psychological trauma is a process which requires courage, and it begins by identifying the truth and one’s real feelings.  Solidifying deep rooted psychological change is not for the faint at heart.  As Lana describes it, the process consists of two steps forward and one step backward.  Each time you gain a step forward.

​

Our emotional DNA, generational patterns, and unconscious mind are powerful forces in our psyche.  Once we begin to identify and recognize what the issues are and where the traumas originated, the process of “unpacking” the emotional issues will start.  We can then make emotionally healthy changes for new behavior to take root in our heart and soul.  The imperfect journey is a curvy, bumpy, smooth, and sometimes straight road to infinity.  We are only human after all.
