Lisa Halstead

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1997 with a BA in Psychology from York College, CUNY and a Masters Degree in Social Work from Adelphi University. My treatment specialties are anxiety and depression, bereavement and grief, advanced illness, adjustment disorders. I draw from multiple theories depending on the presenting problems, utilizing the Developmental Theory Perspective, the Family Life Cycle, the Psychodynamic Theory and the Psychosocial Development Theory

My practice model approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to explore and develop client strengths into measurable goals. I have worked with diverse populations from different ethnic groups and socioeconomic statuses and have been credited with interfacing effectively with people of all backgrounds. I start where you are and help you to end up where you want to be. I will work as hard as the client is willing to.

Clients will feel heard. They will ultimately feel like they have made progress towards their desired goals.
