Getting to know Lisa Alfandary

Hi there, I'm Lisa! Hello! I'm Lisa Alfandary, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area and offering telehealth services across California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Boston University. I focus on supporting adults through stress, life transitions, anxiety, and low self-esteem. My approach I use Person-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide my clients toward feeling better and making meaningful progress. My therapeutic approach is tailored to the unique needs of each individual I work with. My focus I specialize in working with young women aged 20 to 40s who are navigating life transitions and social pressures. These challenges often manifest as stress, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to assist clients in managing these transitions and developing skills to enhance their self-esteem and foster a more positive outlook on life. My communication style In terms of communication, I strive to create a calm, empathetic, and compassionate environment, while also being direct and incorporating humor when appropriate. I aim for my clients to feel at ease discussing any topic, and I take pride in my ability to listen non-judgmentally. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist stemmed from a deep-rooted desire to help others. From being a supportive friend to working on myself to become more self-actualized over the years, I have always been drawn to assisting people through their struggles. I find fulfillment in helping individuals tap into their power and become their best selves. My goals for you I like to get a sense of what you are trying to accomplish and then check in regularly to see how we are doing. My first session with you Clients can expect to feel more relaxed and embodied and to tune into what is true for them in present time.
