Lisa Barajas

My communication style

I strive to provide a safe environment. I want the clients to feel free to express themselves and feel like they are seen and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a child of immigrants, therapy and mental health were taboo topics. I wanted to open up spaces where an individual feels safe to speak about their struggles. I want to help clients work towards a healthier sense of self. My goal is for clients to feel empowered in dealing with their struggles instead of feeling ashamed of having them.

My goals for you

I encourage clients to create goals for therapy that make sense in light of their current needs and priorities. I feel this is important in creating a sense of empowerment and developing skills that transfer to real life.

Our first session

In our first session, expect to do most of the talking. This is your opportunity not only to share your current problems but also to share your strengths and ideas about what you need out of therapy. I will also give you honest feedback on how we can best work together.
