Lisa Kelly, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I work with both children and adults with a wide range of mental health concerns. I primarily work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, and trauma spectrum disorders.

My focus

I primarily focus on adults at this time. Many people I work with are on a healing journey, and my best work is done with individuals at this time.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is one of compassion, authenticity, and connection. With that foundation, I help clients through their struggles one day at a time. I strive to help people create more love and compassion for themselves and others. I blend my style of therapy using evidence-based treatment with holistic care.

My communication style

I strive to make my therapeutic approach nonjudgmental and empathetic. I tailor sessions to meet your unique therapeutic needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

My career as a therapist is a second career. I entered this work after spending time on the administrative side of the non-profit sector. After a life transition of my own, I discovered that working directly with people was my calling.

My goals for you

I assist clients in setting their goals in a collaborative, engaging way. Together, we will discover where and how you get stuck, enabling you to access new ways of being.

Our first session

During the first session, we will spend some time discussing what has been happening with your emotional health. We will be discussing where you have been, where you are now, and where you wish to be. We will then construct goals and plans for you to reach your best self.
