Lilian Borges, LPC, helps people live their higher selves through working with individuals and couples in therapy, sharing insights through articles and her podcast, and appearing at conferences and through teaching engagements.

Lilian is an experienced therapist, teacher, presenter, and podcaster who has treated individuals and couples for more than thirty years. Being binational herself, she can understand multicultural issues naturally, and perform and teach psychotherapy in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. 

She’s an expert in Ericksonian Hypnosis, which she teaches both nationally and internationally and uses with individuals and couples to become and live their higher selves, and she’s trained professionals in hypnosis around the world for more than two decades.

She is a Level 3 PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) therapist (see resource page for more information), and is one of very few couples’ therapists to use hypnosis. 

She currently has a private practice in Arizona, where she uses an array of techniques to help her patients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, pain management, weight management, smoking cessation, etc.

Ericksonian hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and PACT are some of the approaches used in accepting, goal-oriented, and dynamic sessions.
