LISA WEISBAUM, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm LISA!

I'm the therapist you seek out when life gets lifey. You are not supposed to know how to tackle life's transitions on your own. I give you a place to start and a path forward.

My focus

I work with individuals, families, or teens struggling with life adjustments, changes in family dynamics (new parents), symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma history. Family therapy helps all members feel heard and understood. It improves communication and resolves conflicts.

My approach

My therapeutic style is engaging and empathetic with a direct approach, so we can uncover the reasons people stay stuck. I utilize cognitive behavioral interventions to create impactful, long-lasting change.

My communication style

Therapy is a supportive and collaborative process. I work together with a client to feel confident in looking inward for the answers, recognize when they are overthinking, and identify what is harmful. My communication style is engaging and empathetic, with a direct approach.

My journey to mental healthcare

For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed being the one to ask, 'How can I help.' I enjoy working with others, and I pursued my career in social work. I have clinical experience working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, abuse, changes in family dynamics, and other mental health issues.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process, and one in which I work with a client to identify the barriers to their improved mental well-being.

Our first session

Defining expectations, a general framework of a work together, and gathering historical information to best inform the process.
