Specializes in Anxiety, Cultural Issues/Racial Stress +8 moreHi, I'm Lisa, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I help clients manage and work through anxiety, depression, breakups/divorce, grief and loss, OCD, and the many other things that life throws our way. I view counseling as a partnership between the therapist and client, and my goal is to support clients in strengthening their relationship with themselves. One of my strengths is helping clients find better ways to communicate with themselves by understanding, disputing, and filtering out negative self-talk that can keep us from moving forward in life.Next available:Thu Nov 5 @ 11PM
