Lisa Fields, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

There but for the grace of God go I! This is an expression that resonates with me and inspires me to help others. My name is Lisa, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Southern California. I am passionate about the field of mental health and will provide a safe place for you to open up about your challenges.

My focus

I work primarily with adults 18 and over. I'm experienced in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship conflicts.

My approach

I ascribe to and use several evidence-based treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Problem-solving therapy, along with elements of psychodynamic theory. I individualize treatment, knowing that therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" treatment.

My communication style

I believe in open and honest communication. We are collaborators on this journey, and I will treat you with dignity, compassion, and respect, knowing that a strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation for a successful outcome. You will have a safe place to express your thoughts and feelings in an uncensored manner.

My journey to mental healthcare

The mental health epidemic is a problem that will not go away without the recognition that we are all vulnerable, and therefore must face it head-on, without judgment, and with compassion. My journey has been an evolution of not only professional experience but lived experience, as I have a daughter on the autism spectrum.

My goals for you

You are the captain of this ship. During our first session, we'll discuss your challenges, reasons for seeking treatment, how you've been impacted, and changes you'd like to make. From there, we can set measurable goals that we'll track throughout our work together.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll get to know one another. We'll talk about your reason for seeking therapy and discuss your background extensively. This will allow me to identify a diagnosis so we can develop a treatment plan together.
