Lisa Riggs, LCP

Psychologist
CA
Hi there, I'm Lisa! My name is Lisa Riggs, and I am a Licensed Psychologist in California. I graduated with an M.A. in Family Therapy and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have been licensed since 2000. In addition to practicing psychotherapy, I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses in human development and psychology. I’m married, and have step-children and grandchildren, along with three beloved dogs. Away from the office, I enjoy oil painting, photography, reading, and travel. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s unique needs. I specialize in trauma work and am trained in EMDR therapy, which I find particularly effective for those who have experienced traumatic events or are dealing with ongoing stressors. In every session, I strive to create a safe and trusting environment so we can collaborate on strategies that foster healing, resilience, and personal growth. My focus I work with people of all ages dealing with a multitude of experiences and issues, however, much of my practice involves working with children, young adults, parents, and individuals coping with illness or chronic pain. Having faced my own medical challenges, I am passionate about supporting others in navigating the complexities of health issues and the emotional toll they can take. Whether you are a child learning to express difficult emotions, a parent balancing family demands, or someone grappling with the ups and downs of chronic pain, I aim to help you develop tools to manage stress, find meaning, and cultivate hope. My communication style I prioritize empathy, warmth, and openness in my communication. I believe in listening without judgment and encouraging honest dialogue. My goal is for you to feel heard and understood, so we can work together in a space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.
