Getting to know Lisa Shaheen

Hi there, I'm Lisa! Hello. My name is Lisa Shaheen. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University. I enjoy helping my clients discover their true, authentic selves. Reviewing one's childhood often reveals roadblocks to self-love and discovery. I also have extensive experience with conflict resolution techniques and effective communication, helping couples work through differences and deepen their love. My approach Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral therapies are my most common approaches. I also find Solution-focused therapy beneficial at times. My focus I work with individual adults and couples. The conditions I most often see are anxiety, depression, and codependence. I frequently treat clients processing separation and breakups due to infidelity, difficulties resolving conflict, and parenting differences. My communication style I am down-to-earth and transparent. My clients find me genuine, practical, and relatable. I strive to create a comfortable setting that enables clients to feel safe sharing themselves. My journey to mental healthcare After my divorce, I sought therapy for myself. Through working with therapists and joining a women’s group, I gained insight into why I ended up in difficult relationships. While completing my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice at California State University, Fullerton, I realized I wanted to do this work. I then pursued my Master’s degree to become a therapist. My goals for you I inquire about and note your reasons for seeking counseling. As we progress through techniques, I revisit your initial concerns and explore how the process connects to your original needs and present issues. My first session with you In our first session, I review a detailed history of your current life and past to better understand your journey.
