Lisa Everson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I work with children, adolescents, and their families. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, and trauma using Cognitive Behavioral therapy. My goal is to help young people successfully navigate their symptoms and build confidence.

My focus

I work with children, teens, and young adults coping with school stress, social pressures, and transitioning to adulthood. I specialize in trauma, LGBTQI+ youth, and transgender youth support. I use Trauma-Focused CBT for PTSD symptoms and help clients build skills to navigate stressors and feel positive about the future.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques, along with elements of Positive Psychology and Narrative therapy. My approach varies based on your needs. I'm supportive and accepting, helping you develop confidence and self-esteem as we work together.

My communication style

My style is supportive, calm, and accepting. I encourage you to help direct your treatment and decide what works best. I want you to feel comfortable, look forward to therapy, and know you can tell me anything without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I enjoy people and want to help them. I worked for years supporting victims of violent crime, then as a therapist with children and families in community settings. I love helping people overcome problems and develop confidence.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative and client-driven. You decide what we want to accomplish together, and I help you understand the reasoning behind therapeutic goals. Sessions are goal-driven, and we discuss progress and adjust goals as we work together.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of the time talking about why you're seeking therapy. I'll ask questions to understand your history and how you're feeling. It's also an opportunity to discuss how therapy works, develop goals, build connection, and see if we're a good fit.
