Finding a therapist is an strange mix, of science and magic. Lisa has the education, experience, and training that is essential for a provider, but combines it with caring, encouragement, and most importantly effective counseling. She has a background in trauma that was the key to helping me unlock my potential and begin to manage my anxiety disorder. Liking your therapist is important, but making progress is vital. With Lisa's help I was able to have the best of both worlds.
I was her patient for almost three years and, participated in a women's trauma group for a year. The time was a life changing investment, and I no longer feel the need for weekly appointments, although I consider myself a life long patient, knowing that I can and most likely will return for checkups,or help through a difficult time.
I know people who have had awful experiences with therapy, or who love their therapist but have been going for years and are still struggling with the same problems. When I started my treatment with Lisa I was enduring life, I was depressed and a victim of my anxiety. That is not the case today. I have days that I may struggle, but I enjoy life now. I feel very lucky to have found in Lisa someone who cared and listened with kindness and empathy, but also had the skill to teach me how to make real progress in managing my mental health. read more
