Getting to know Lisa Marie

Hi there, I'm Lisa! I am an LMFT with a PhD in Clinical Psychology who has worked in the field for most of my adult life, in a variety of settings (psychiatric hospital, residential treatment centers, schools, homes, and outpatient clinics), with people whose ages ranged from 6 to 92. Because their problems also varied greatly, I became adept at individualizing care. My focus Are you struggling with feeling stuck? Is there more change in your life than you feel you can cope with? Talking things out with the right therapist (could be me) can help clarify your challenges, remind you of your strengths and resources, present new possibilities, and encourage you, all in the context of being truly seen, heard, and respected. My approach I begin by inviting clients to "think out loud" with me, verbally or otherwise, sharing only when and what they're ready to, listening for what needs attention, including neglected aspects of themselves. I help clients clarify the core issues and explore options for change, suggesting new behaviors to learn and practice, and noticing the results. My communication style I am an active listener, warm, friendly, and curious about what brings people to therapy. I am also open to sharing my observations and associations when they may be helpful. My emphasis is on conveying to my clients that you are welcome, your thoughts and feelings are welcome, and that I have confidence in your ability to make important changes. My journey to mental healthcare My becoming a therapist has roots in my early life and family (as people's journeys do), but also in my innate curiosity about the world and the people in it. The fields of psychology and education both drew me, but working with survivors of abuse and people struggling with mental illness confirmed that therapy was my calling.
