Dr. Lynyetta G. Willis was born in Long Island, New York, and moved to Savannah,
Georgia with her family at the age of ten. Growing up as an only child, Lynyetta
spent many hours creating stories and allowing her imagination to run wild. 
Raised by educators, Lynyetta developed a deep love for words, both written and
spoken; she wrote and illustrated her first book at the age of eight and wrote
countless poems before graduating high school.  In her early years, Lynyetta
penned many of her poetic pieces to deal with the grief she experienced
surrounding the death of her grandfather whom she lost at the age of twelve.
Realizing the healing power inherent in words, Lynyetta, majored in psychology
at  Mercer University; she completed her Master’s degree in Counseling at the
University of Georgia; and earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at Georgia
State University.  As a therapist and psychologist, Lynyetta worked in various
settings and eventually established her private therapy practice, Inner Pathways
Counseling and Consulting, LLC.  Over the course of her career, Lynyetta has
developed specializations in trauma, diversity issues and the integration of
spirituality and religion into therapy.
