About the CEO

My name is Lila Galustian, I also go by the name Lili. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and the owner of Re-Discovering You, a marriage and family therapy corporation. Yup, that mouthful is the company's real name. :)

I opened Re-Discovering You to begin helping fight back against the stigma of the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and to provide a space for those with the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder to learn how to recover, heal, and leave treatment knowing themselves better than when they walked in, with help and utilization of CBT and DBT skills.

I began my career in the mental health world as a mental health tech at Clearview residential treatment programs in 2012 when the program was owned by Michael Roy and run by Dr. Alina Gorgorian Ph.D., meanwhile, I attended Antioch University to complete my master of arts in psychology, specializing in early childhood development. I completed my education in 2014 and my associate hours as an employee of Clearview under the supervision of Dr. Alina Gorgorian in 2017. I was recruited to begin working as a program director and then was promoted to clinical director of Resilience treatment programs under the ownership of Andrea Garai. My expertise is the diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder and behavioral patterns.

Throughout my career, I have received countless trainings on CBT and DBT treatments from reputable trainers and programs.

Lila is a natural teacher of mental health and has 3 specific trainings she provides to the mass community. If you, your program, or a group of people are interested in any of the following training, feel free to reach out via email or call.

Assessment and treatment of borderline personality disorder

This training is specific to mental health providers in treatment centers and programs searching for extra help and support for their staff to provide higher quality care to those struggling with BPD symptoms. This training provides the staff a better understanding on how to assess, diagnose, provide effective utilization reviews for insurance companies, and trains the mental health techs on navigating the difficult symptoms of borderline personality disorder.

DBT and CBT skills understanding and implementation

This training is specifically tailored for hospitals, schools and companies that need more support for their staff. This training teaches the staff DBT and CBT skills which help them more comfortably navigate deadlines, long work hours, chaotic days and self-care while accepting the difficulties of their daily responsibilities at work. This training helps decrease burnout and increase self-satisfaction, which in result automatically increases productivity.

Mental Health Psychoeducation and Mindfulness

This training is specifically tailored for teenagers and adolescents who are starting to understand and learn more of mental health but do not fully understand the severity and intensity of each diagnosis. This training is meant to provide more information for teens and adolescents on what can cause mental health struggles, what are normal teenage problems vs mental health symptoms and how to not use mental health diagnosis as a form of insult or communicating needs. This training also helps provide mindfulness skills to help teenagers and adolescents go through the phase of puberty and hormonal change with a better grasp of their emotions and reactions.

About the Skills Application Model of Therapy

At Re-Discovering You, we accomplish success in change by providing an honest conversation of problem behaviors, and functions of the behaviors, identifying the patterns of those behaviors non-judgmentally, discussing the change with a willingness to implement evidence-based skills, and learning to observe the change with patience and self-validation. We do believe that validation is key to understanding and invalidation helps guide us towards change. Consequences of actions are part of our learning and learning to use skills to tolerate our consequences helps our brain begin wanting to change. Fear of change is real, and the opposite action to the fear helps build confidence and self-esteem.

The common statements clients will hear are, "The brain is the smartest and dumbest organ. What you communicate to it is the reality it will work hard to create for you." and "The world might have caused your problems, and right now you're the only one that can begin changing it, no one else but you needs to do better for your life to get better". Those are the skills application mottos.

Symptoms

Symptoms we specialize in working with:

Below is a list of specific symptoms that we specialize in working with using Cognitive and Dialectical behavioral therapies. Instead of giving you the full DSM spiel, I’m going to try to describe the symptoms in simple terms. I hope this is helpful to understand the symptoms and the work that we do to help you learn how to manage and begin being in a way that matches your personality and your values.
