Lisa Frenzel-Hill

I am a therapist with 40+ years as a mental health therapist and medical social worker. My work has provided me with experiences that are relevant to many of my clients' life scenarios. My professional values include understanding, acceptance, respect, and unconditional regard. I also believe that clients are the most important person on their treatment team, therefore, they have input into their goals, treatment plan, and deciding what is important for them to work on and heal from.

I use an eclectic approach that includes, but is not restricted to CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, Client Centered, and Reality-Based. I typically talk with my clients to learn about what approach (es) would fit their needs.

The first session includes gathering relevant information about why a client is reaching out for therapy. Included in that is learning about learning style, therapeutic approach preferences, what is helpful to them in general, their goals for therapy, and ideas about what would help make therapy feel safe for them.
