Getting to know Dr. Lisa Palmer
I’m Dr. Lisa Palmer, Clinical Director at The Renew Center of Florida. I provide specialized therapy for individuals, couples, and families through in-person sessions in Boca Raton and virtual care throughout the United States. I work with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, relationship difficulties, substance use concerns, life transitions, and stress-related challenges. With over twenty years of clinical experience, I focus on helping clients understand their emotions, strengthen daily functioning, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My therapeutic style is personalized and integrates a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based methods, trauma-focused techniques, and strategies that build emotional regulation and coping skills. These approaches help clients gain clarity, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop the tools needed to feel more grounded and capable in their everyday lives.
At The Renew Center of Florida, I offer a safe, supportive, and structured environment where clients feel genuinely heard and cared for. Our program is recognized as the No. 1 treatment center for PTSD, and I am dedicated to helping each person pursue greater clarity, stability, and overall well-being. If you’re ready to begin your healing process, I invite you to request a consultation so we can explore your goals and how therapy can support your continued growth.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients often share that they feel a sense of relief after their first session because they finally have a space where they can speak openly without judgment. My approach is warm, direct, and highly personalized. I take the time to understand who you are, what you’ve been through, and what you want to change, so we can work together in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
With more than two decades of clinical experience, I use an integrative style that blends evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based methods, trauma-focused approaches, and strategies that improve emotional regulation and daily functioning. I am active and engaging in session, helping you understand patterns, process difficult emotions, and strengthen the tools you need to build healthier ways of living and relating.
Clients can expect a structured but supportive environment where honesty, compassion, and collaboration guide the process. I listen carefully, ask purposeful questions, and help you explore both the emotional and practical sides of the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, or major life transitions, I aim to help you feel grounded, capable, and more in control of your life.
Healing is not linear, and you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re ready to begin this work, I will meet you exactly where you are and support you every step of the way.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My work with clients begins with creating a safe and grounded space where you can express what you’re experiencing without pressure. During our first sessions, I take time to understand your history, symptoms, strengths, and goals so we can form a clear picture of what you’re dealing with and how therapy can best support you. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you identify the patterns or experiences that may be contributing to your current challenges.
From there, we develop a tailored treatment plan that fits your needs. I use a blend of evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based techniques, trauma-focused methods, and strategies that strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills. Sessions are active, collaborative, and focused on helping you gain clarity while building tools you can use in daily life. You can expect a mix of guided exploration, practical skills, emotional processing, and supportive feedback throughout our work together.
As therapy progresses, we regularly check in on what’s working, what feels challenging, and how you’re growing. This allows us to adjust the pace and focus as needed so the process remains meaningful and effective. Whether we are addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, or major life transitions, my goal is always to help you feel more stable, capable, and connected to yourself.
Every person moves at their own pace, and I honor that. My role is to support you with compassion, clarity, and structure so you feel empowered throughout the therapeutic journey.
