Getting to know Lisa De La O

Hi there, I'm Lisa! Beginning therapy can feel awkward and intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. My job is to be your partner in helping you navigate the right way forward for you. I believe therapy isn't about finding the right answer—it's about helping you find your right answer. My focus I work with people dealing with anxiety and doubt that come with life's challenges and changes. Whether you're experiencing relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career struggles, or the fallout from past trauma, we'll work together to get control of the anxiety and depression that make it difficult to move forward. My approach My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, and depth-oriented work, meaning we explore not just what's happening now, but the deeper patterns and stories that shape your experience. I often incorporate CBT and DBT as these modalities offer coping mechanisms that can provide immediate relief. My communication style My communication style is casual and non-judgmental. I place high value on making space for clients to tell their stories in their own way. I also encourage clients to be open with me about what is not working for them. When both people are open and honest, a unique way of communicating naturally develops. My journey to mental healthcare I worked as a teacher before becoming a therapist. I realized that while I was a solid academic teacher, my real strength had been in connecting with my students. My greatest joy in this work is in helping clients grow stronger and recognize their own ability to change their lives for the better. My goals for you Setting goals is a collaborative effort. Together, we explore what we could focus on, but you choose what the focus should be. We work on recognizing what things you're unwilling to compromise on, what you're willing to compromise on, and how much compromise feels appropriate.
