Getting to know Lisa Bellamy
Hi There, I'm Lisa! I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Therapist with a background in trauma and teen violence. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions in a collaborative way to help move them toward self-betterment.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is integrative, as there is no one size fits all for a client. I often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strength-based therapy. I provide a warm, empathetic, collaborative, non-judgmental environment that allows you to feel safe and heard as we navigate life’s challenges, explore practical coping skills, and discover hidden strengths. I work collaboratively with clients to identify treatment goals and plans to ensure their true desires are met throughout therapy.
My focus
I have a special interest in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, anger issues, acculturation struggles, and stress. I also have extensive experience working with at-risk teens. I am a culturally competent therapist and have a great rapport with clients regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or background.
My communication style
I am an active listener who validates, reframes, and provides emotional support as needed. I am warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I intentionally acknowledge opportunities to point out growth and strength.
My journey to therapy
I completed my Master’s in Forensic Mental Health Counseling at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, part of the City University of New York, with a certification in Victimology Studies. Initially, I became a therapist to help people cope with physical and sexual abuse. I transitioned to working with at-risk youths to reduce their likelihood of incarceration, as I am passionate about addressing the school-to-prison pipeline and racial injustices.
