Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Indian River, Chesapeake, VA

Hi! I'm Lisa and it is my goal to help if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or just not feeling "like yourself."

I am excited that you have chosen to take the journey towards improving your overall quality of life. At times we may feel the stressors of life are too much to handle alone. I would like the opportunity to partner with you in working through the process of growth and change.

I view therapy as a collaborative relationship in which a person is seeking change. Most of the tools of our success are within. I feel that I am my most effective with open and flexible clients that are open to the experience of therapy. I have worked well with people struggling with perfectionism, people pleasing, and other core beliefs underlying mental health concerns. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, survivors of sexual assault, survivors of narcissistic abuse, individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders, families, LGBTQ clients, and individuals with anxiety disorders.

I am especially interested in serving children, adults, and adolescents with depression, anxiety, PTSD, schizophrenia, and Bi-Polar disorder. I have experience with providing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I take an interpersonal approach to treatment, with a special focus on individualized care that is based on research. I also offer trauma-informed and spiritually-integrated services.

Change can be difficult and often we may feel stuck in a cycle, our comfort zone, but recognizing the need for change is the first step towards fulfilling your goals. Whether the change is to improve your relationships, career, financial circumstance, self-defeating behaviors or how you cope with life stressors and challenges; having someone to assist you with reaching your goals, coping with barriers along the way, better understanding yourself and how you relate to others and living life to your fullest potential is what therapy offers.
