Lisa works in partnership with her clients to develop and assess goals for treatment. She utilizes a Client Centered Therapy approach, which means she treats her clients with unconditional, positive support and puts them at the center of treatment. She values the mind-body connection and recognizes that this connection must be solid in order to optimize health and wellness. She understands that her clients are the experts when it comes to their own lives and enjoys guiding them as they join her in this understanding. Lisa uses evidenced based strategies supportive to this approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindful Self-Compassion, Mindfulness Based EcoTherapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT)™, Motivational Interviewing, Performance Psychology, and Theraplay® techniques.
