“Lisa is an amazing, caring, intelligent, warm, woman. It's incredible how intuitive she is. After growing up in an extremely toxic family, Lisa changed my world for the best. Lisa taught me how to help myself, trust myself, and be my authentic self. I feel so blessed, and finally free.”

Getting to know Lisa Goldwyn

Welcome. If you are seeking relief from anxiety, the effects of Traumatic life events, or are on a Spiritual journey to live your life from the place of your True Self, I am committed to helping you get there. I am a warm and compassionate clinician, dedicated to creating a therapeutic relationship where you can build on your strengths and overcome barriers. Whether you've experienced or witnessed abuse, neglect, violence, grief, natural or man-made disasters, major life changes, or more, we can work toward healing and thriving. Together, and at a comfortable pace, we will gain a better understanding of your symptoms and what caused them to take on such a large role in your life. Using evidence-based treatment methods including IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) we can actually heal the underlying cause, thus relaxing current symptoms and allowing you to live your life with calm and confidence, free from internal barriers. It is my honor to assist people from all walks of life find the Calmness, Clarity, Courage and Confidence needed to effectively address life's challenges. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and hold certification in Alternative Dispute Resolution/Mediation. My educational focus was social work in Indigenous communities and I have considerable experience working with folks who have been in the foster-care system. It is always my aim to affirm and be allied with BIPOC and LGBTQI2S+ individuals and communities. "We live most of our life in our head, let's make it a peaceful place" - Buddhist teaching.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect to take away new understanding of their symptoms and how to work with them when they arise, so the symptoms are not so overwhelming and invasive. This can provide a newfound ability and empowerment to engage more calmly and confidently in the home, work, school and community environments.

In-network insurances

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.
