Lisa El-Alam

My name is Lisa El-Alam, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker - Clinical. While I have worked with various populations, my primary focus has been on Veterans. I hold advanced trauma training and am CCTP-II certified. My experience includes working with trauma survivors across all levels, including combat trauma, military trauma, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, and domestic abuse. Additionally, I have supported individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, as well as couples and families navigating relationship stress.

I take a warm and positive holistic approach to therapy, meeting individuals where they are in their journey and supporting them in their healing process. I am certified in EMDR and Hypnotherapy and trained in the Gottman Method to help couples build healthier relationships. Therapy is a space for you to feel safe in your vulnerability as you navigate healing. This is your journey—your process, your healing—and I am here to guide and support you along the way.

My clients often express feeling lighter after our sessions. Those who once felt uneasy socializing or being in public find themselves reconnected and more at ease. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the foundation of healing, and I prioritize building trust at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual. Clients frequently share that they feel safe expressing their thoughts, feelings, and emotions in our work together. I witness significant emotional growth in those who complete treatment, and I am truly grateful to be a part of their healing journey.
