Getting to know Lisa Austin

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. I work with people from different backgrounds and cultures who face a variety of challenges. I've gained my experience by working in corrections, hospitals, schools, community outpatient programs, and private practice. Hence, I've seen mental health concerns create obstacles in many areas of life, including school, employment, relationships, parenting, and spirituality. I became a mental health professional to help remove these barriers as we work collaboratively on this therapeutic journey. I believe that self-exploration can be achieved in a variety of ways, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and trauma-informed care. We will explore underlying patterns of behavior while also developing skills to manage stress. I love helping people learn about themselves to achieve growth and feel better. I believe in a nonjudgmental approach that provides a safe environment. There's no problem too small to talk about. If something is affecting you, then it's worth the conversation, and you don't have to suffer in silence. Getting started is one of the hardest parts, but you're worth it. So, contact me to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
