Getting to know Brian Lissak

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and family and interpersonal relationship challenges. I also offer Peak Performance training for individuals aiming to excel in various aspects of life. Whether in the office or in real-world settings, I work with you to create a personalized approach that supports your goals. I use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Motivational Interviewing. I'm also trained in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, using Ketamine for clients who are eligible. Additionally, I incorporate biofeedback, neurofeedback, and other neurophysiological interventions to personalize treatment, guided by a strong understanding of the nervous system. and its interaction with our psychological experience. My approach blends compassion with structure, helping you take charge of your growth. Discipline, integrity, and meaning are pillars of my work and the space we will co-create. Before becoming a therapist, I was an NCAA athlete and served in the military—experiences that shape my work and allow me to connect with clients in a meaningful way.
