Lila Veltze
You may be feeling lost, untethered, overwhelmed, anxious or unhappy. Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your life, longing for change but unsure where to begin. Maybe you’re struggling with self-esteem in a world that seems to seek perfection from us at every turn.
Therapy offers you a unique space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself; offering you the stillness to hear your own voice and follow your own heart. It can help you discover who you truly are and what you really want.
Together, we can find ways to address the challenges you are facing right now, and explore how past experiences may still be shaping your present, and how you might begin to free yourself from old patterns.
My role is to walk alongside you on your journey as you explore, question, and grow in understanding and self-acceptance, and forge a new path toward a more joyful and fulfilling life.
Who I work with
I am passionate about empowering women at all ages and stages of life and transition, and I have been doing this for the past 20 years.
In addition, I love supporting young adults to navigate the challenges of adulthood and finding their place in the world.
I also work with those who feel othered or different, providing a space where your experiences are seen, heard, and respected.

My European heritage enriches my work, particularly around issues of cultural identity, belonging, and difference.
I am a body positive therapist and I am passionate about helping to create a world free of appearance discrimination and judgment, where all individuals feel comfortable and accepted in their own bodies.
