Lisa Altemus, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I work with individuals and families to build on their strengths and attain personal growth. With compassion and understanding, I meet each person where they are and help them move toward the changes they seek.

My focus

I provide individual, family, couples, and group therapy. My areas of specialization include Depression, Anxiety, Adolescents, Stress Management, Substance Abuse, ADHD, LGBTQ, Family, and Parenting Issues.

My approach

I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client and family. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual at their own pace to help them build on their strengths and attain personal growth.

My communication style

I strive to help clients achieve their goals and provide quality therapeutic services. I work with people to improve their relationships and communication, address occupational concerns, transitions in life, and help parents and teens struggling to communicate.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families through life's challenges. I believe in the power of compassionate connection and the potential for growth that exists in every person.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you build on your strengths, attain personal growth, improve your relationships and communication, navigate life transitions, and achieve the objectives that are most important to you through our work together.
