Getting to know Lisa Monteiro
Hello, my name is Lisa Monteiro. I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York State. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University and my Bachelor's degree from Iona University. I have counseled clients across the lifespan, from 3-year-old children on the autism spectrum to older adults struggling with depression and anxiety. I became a licensed therapist in 2007.
My work has been with individuals, couples, families, and groups. My experience includes treating people who have struggled with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, OCD and related conditions, sexual assault/domestic violence and other abuse/traumas, anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, serious medical conditions, work-life balance issues, wellness deficits, and most mild to severe everyday stressors. We begin with the end in mind: What behaviors, thoughts, or feelings need to be different? What will be different about you? When will we know you are on the path to healing, change, or wellness? We actively work to turn the page and begin writing the story of your new healthy life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I utilize an integrated approach to therapy based on my patient's needs. The modalities that I use include: behavior modification training, brief solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, developmental theory, biopsychosocial wellness,
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first few sessions involve me getting to know you to gain an understand of what is going on in your life. I will ask you questions about yourself, your support system, work, education and overall health and wellness. What is currently happening and how you have been maintaining the thoughts, behaviors or situations in your life? I will complete and review with you your depression, anxiety assessments and overall health and wellness screening. I will consider your developmental stage in life. Then, we will identify causes triggers and past successful and unsuccessful coping .Lastly we will agree on a course of action to begin treatment.

May 4, 2022Paul C.Verified patientVideo visit
The appointment was at 1:00 PM. I logged in at 12: 55 PM , waited until 1:12 PM and no one showed up. Called the number on file that is provided by ZocDoc nothing. Extremely unprofessional. Never, never again. Will be looking for another person thru my insurance. There no email, no call , nothing communicating wether the appointment was cancelled by the office at all. I hope I’m not charged for this.

Lisa is great
October 21, 2024Carmen M.Verified patientVideo visit
Lisa is amazing. She is kind and a great listener. She cares about every detail and truly cares about helping others. She gives great advise and really cares about trying to get you better each session, rather than just talking/venting for an hour. She explains things very well and wants to find the root causes of things and comes up with solutions for any type of problem. Never feel judged by her. Highly recommend booking with Lisa.

This is my first time meeting with Lisa but she decided to take the video call outside in a park or somewhere very noisy. It was very distracting and I feel she did not respect our session and my time.
