Getting to know Lisa Wood

Hi there, I'm Lisa! Welcome. I am Lisa Wood, a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University and a Bachelor’s degree from Montclair State University. I am a person-centered clinician working primarily with adults, focusing on mood symptoms, older adults, and the LGBTQ+ community. My approach I like to use CBT, DBT, and mindfulness skills to support clients in finding healthy coping strategies and making changes that align with their personal goals. My focus I typically work with adults experiencing mood disorders, life changes and transitions, chronic pain, and health problems, as well as individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. My communication style My goal as a therapist is to provide a calm environment where people feel heard and are able to explore options for themselves. My journey to mental healthcare I initially wanted to become a veterinarian and started in pre-med, but quickly realized it wasn’t the right path for me. After taking a few psychology classes, I knew I had found my place. I began my career as a case manager working with clients transitioning out of the hospital. Throughout my career as a social worker, I have held various roles but have always returned to my passion for working as an individual therapist supporting people on their journey. My goals for you I like to ask clients about their goals, what achieving those goals would look like, and check in periodically to assess progress and discuss any changes they might want to make. My first session with you The first session is a time for me to get to know you and for you to get to know me. I gather some history, learn what you want to work on, understand what you need from a therapist, and clarify your expectations for therapy.
