Lisa LaSalle

My communication style

I utilize a client-centered approach to counseling. I like to involve you in treatment planning, the focus of treatment, and the ultimate outcomes you desire to achieve. I attempt to create a safe place for processing emotion through establishing good rapport. I am empathetic, compassionate, nondirect, and nonjudgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been empathetic and compassionate. Having experienced trauma throughout my life, I wanted to help others overcome adversity. I enjoy working with others to help them understand how their story affects who they are and to process unresolved emotions that prevent them from living the life they desire.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to identify the outcomes you would like to achieve. Based on your desired outcomes and diagnosis, we establish the goals for treatment together.

Our first session

I like to do a comprehensive assessment, which includes childhood, family of origin, any traumatic experiences, your academic life, education, employment, current relationships, history of relationships, support system, mental health history, family's mental health, substance use, and medical history.
