Lisa let me take as much time as I needed to "tell my story" Then we worked on measurable goals. I could not be more pleased

Reviewed September 2024

When I talk to Lisa, I always feel like I'm being heard, understood. While our sessions can be hard, or painful; I always feel lighter and more empowered at the end. She's supportive, knowledgeable, genuine and funny. 5 stars! All around!

More about Lisa

  • LCSW, LISW, LMSW, LICSW

Hello!

I am a trained clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. My experience is in major hospital systems in New York City, Houston, and New Jersey and the past three years specifically servicing BetterHelp subscribers. Most of my experience involves bringing tranquility, organization, and resolution to very complex and emotional situations. I utilize cultural sensitivity and my experience to navigate diverse backgrounds and work through the challenges being faced.

In my work, I have been involved during times of stress and anxiety, challenging relationships, life changes, and many more. My goal is to listen to what is causing stress and offer the support needed to overcome it or manage it better. I hope to offer some tools to utilize in navigating these challenging situations for a more optimal outcome.

I have traveled to various cities such as Bangkok, Paris, Madrid, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Cancun, Caribbean, London, Amsterdam, San Diego, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Orlando, San Francisco, Montreal, Calgary, Banff, Edmonton, and more. During my travels, I mainly focus on learning about the culture and understanding the history of the area and its people.

My passion is to help and coach people to be their best selves!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have been through a few counsellors but, they don’t match up to Lisa. She consistently arrives on time, helps push you where you need to go and makes you feel like you’re not alone. She supports me throughout my feelings of depression and anxiety, has gone above and beyond through her checkins and helps me advocate for myself in the best way. I’m unbelievably grateful to have met her.
