Lisa Schulman-Dick, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I work with adults, parents, and individuals experiencing difficulties with transitions at all ages and stages of life.

My focus

I work with adults struggling with life transitions, relationships, parenting, aging, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and boundary setting.

My approach

My approach is collaborative with a person-centered, humanistic focus. Together, we'll work on goals that matter to you, drawing on Psychodynamic, Strength-Based, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive-Behavioral modalities.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment with a calm, empathic, and open approach that allows you to feel safe exploring difficult issues.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was always the listener and problem solver. After time in the business world, I understood therapy was my calling. I worked in clinics, hospitals, and schools, then took time to raise a family. Now I've found meaning again in helping others.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative and client-based. It's my job to help you define the goals and work you want to accomplish in our time together.

Our first session

I look forward to getting to know you and learning what brought you to therapy. It's also a time for you to get to know me and ask any questions. Building a therapeutic relationship takes time. Session one is a chance to see if I feel like a good fit.
