About Lynne Lyon, LCSW

Lynne Lyon, LCSW

Lynne Lyon received her Masters of Social Work in 2004 and has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2007. Prior to her career in social work, she worked as a graphic designer for 25 years. During her time as a graphic designer, Lynne decided to embark on the journey of becoming an adoptive mother. Lynne realized shortly after adopting her daughter that she had been traumatized due to neglect and a medical accident experienced in the orphanage. Becoming an adoptive mother was the start of Lynne's mission to learn more about attachment and trauma.

Lynne started Widener University’s Master of Social Work program, using her time to research RAD and PTSD (now known as attachment trauma). Since graduating in 2004, the majority of her clients have been adoptive families and adopted children and adults.
