Lisa Koss

My communication style

I prioritize clear, direct, compassionate, and curious communication. I strive to create a warm and safe environment through authentic connection. I provide active, nonjudgmental listening and give you space to reflect, ask questions, or process at your pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been curious about the human experience and drawn to helping others. I worked with teens who experienced trauma, then adults with substance use, anxiety, depression, and trauma. In private practice, I was drawn to working with adults marginalized for not meeting neurotypical standards.

My goals for you

I believe therapy should be collaborative. I'll work with you to identify and set goals important to you, whether building self-confidence, learning coping skills, improving relationships, or other personal goals. Your goals may change as we work together, and we can adapt them anytime to ensure they remain meaningful to you.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. I'll take some background information and we'll discuss what brings you to therapy. I recognize getting to know each other takes time, and we'll work at a pace comfortable for you. First-session anxiety is completely normal, and I'll guide you through each step.
