Lisa Friedman

My communication style

I offer compassionate understanding and a non-judgmental space. We are a team working together to achieve your goals. You can expect warmth, collaboration, and a sense of safety in our sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

A physician once showed me compassionate understanding during a difficult time, and her non-judgmental approach inspired me to seek help. That experience shaped how I practice today. I strive to be that therapist for others who need support and encouragement.

My goals for you

I ask what you'd like to accomplish on our first day together, and we reassess your goals throughout our time in therapy. This ensures we stay focused on what matters most to you and adjust as your needs evolve.

Our first session

I'll complete a psychosocial history intake where you can tell me your story and emphasize what's important to you. We'll also begin forming our therapeutic relationship and establish a sense of safety. I'll explain confidentiality rules and office policies, and we'll schedule ongoing appointments.
