Ross Lisman, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ross!

I specialize in helping you heal using evidence-based practices provided with warmth and care. I want to work with you to reduce symptoms interfering with your life and help you build a meaningful life you're excited about living. I work with anxiety, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, borderline personality disorder, grief, and OCD.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, bipolar disorder, addiction, borderline personality disorder, grief, and OCD. I have extensive experience helping people navigate these challenges and build lives they value.

My approach

I'm invested in you feeling better quickly while setting you up for long-term mental health through evidence-based practices. We'll explore areas of your life most impacted by your symptoms and develop a plan to address these together. I use approaches tailored to your needs, from behavioral strategies to trauma processing.

My communication style

I create a warm and empathetic environment where you feel heard and valued. Therapy is a vulnerable place to be. I want you to feel safe when you're with me as we work together towards your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always loved talking to people and getting to know their stories. I also love learning and research. I enjoy walking beside people through painful areas of their lives as they work toward healing and wholeness. I would love to meet with you and be part of your story of recovery.

My goals for you

I view goal setting as a collaborative process. I use my expertise to help you achieve the goals you set. You're in the driver's seat; I'm in the passenger's seat, offering guidance to help you get where you'd like to go. If you don't know where you want to go yet, that's okay—we'll discover that together.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll spend time getting to know you as a person to be heard and valued, not just a list of symptoms. I'll want to know what brings you in and what your hopes are. We'll start getting a handle on what's been bothering you and set a path forward for working together.
