Getting to know Liisa Pullinen

Hi there, I'm Liisa! It's hard to be a human, and sometimes the weight of it is difficult to put into words. Whatever you're carrying, I'm here to help you make sense of it. My approach is warm, direct, and rooted in the whole person, not just the problem. I'd love to help you find your way back to yourself. My focus You might be a teen figuring out who you are, or an adult who has been holding it together for too long. Maybe something feels off, and you are not sure why, or you are sure why and just cannot seem to shift it. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and self-esteem, and I will help you figure out what is getting in the way. My approach My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, meaning I care about the whole person, not just the problem. I tailor my work to each client and draw on multiple modalities as needed. Rather than just managing symptoms, I want to help you understand not just what you are struggling with, but why, so that real and lasting change becomes possible. My communication style I am direct but never harsh, and I bring genuine curiosity, calm, and empathy to every session. I will listen closely, reflect back what I am hearing, and name things you might not have been able to put into words. You can expect me to be real with you and hold whatever you bring without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare There is nothing quite like being trusted with the parts of a person they have never shown anyone else. That kind of intimacy is a gift. Every person who sits across from me brings something real and tender, and I do not take that lightly. What keeps me here is that moment when something shifts and a client sees themselves in a whole new way. My goals for you I see therapy as a collaborative process. We will start by exploring what is bringing you in and what you are hoping to feel or experience differently. Goals will shift as you grow and gain insight, and I will track that with you.
