Lisa BRONSON, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I know that reaching out for therapy isn't always easy, especially when life feels overwhelming or you're facing changes you didn't expect. I work with people navigating stress, life transitions, relationship conflicts, and overwhelming emotions. I believe balance, connection, and finding moments of joy are key components to healing!

My focus

I work with adolescents (14+), young adults, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, or stress. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, valued and understood.

My approach

Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to what works best for you. If talking comes naturally, we'll talk. If it doesn't, we can explore other ways to process and express your experiences through art, music, or other creative approaches. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Art Therapy and Feedback Informed Care to meet you where you are!

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and validating environment where you feel comfortable being your authentic self. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to walk alongside you, as we navigate life's challenges together. I approach difficult conversations with compassion, curiosity, and a gentle presence.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in a lifelong passion for helping others. I originally wanted to become a teacher, but I realized my calling was to support people beyond the classroom by creating a space where they have the opportunity share their story! Therapy allows me to support others in a deeper way by offering space for healing.

My goals for you

My goal is to support you in gaining greater self-awareness, building resilience, and creating a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Together, we'll set meaningful, achievable goals and work collaboratively toward lasting growth at a pace that feels right for you.

Our first session

Our first session will be a space where you can express yourself freely, tell your story and begin sharing what brings you to therapy. We will review confidentiality, discuss expectations, and explore how we can best work together to support your needs and goals.
