Getting to know Lisa Austin

Hello, I’m Lisa, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and over 20 years of experience working with both adults and adolescents. My career has taken me through various environments, including corrections, hospitals, schools, outpatient programs, and private practice. This broad background has given me the opportunity to connect with people from diverse walks of life, each bringing their own unique experiences and challenges. I specialize in helping individuals cope with a range of issues, including trauma, addiction, adolescent mental health, anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger management, paraphilia, and more. I believe these struggles, while deeply personal, can often affect many areas of life, such as relationships, work, and overall well-being. My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and trauma-informed methods. I believe in the power of self-exploration to uncover underlying patterns and develop practical skills for managing life’s challenges. My goal is to help you learn about yourself, find personal growth, and ultimately feel better. In our work together, I aim to create a nonjudgmental and safe space where you can freely discuss anything on your mind—no issue is too small to address. I understand that reaching out for help can feel daunting, but know that you are worth the effort. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to work with you on this journey. Feel free to contact me to schedule an appointment.
