Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Lisa J Perlson, OTD, OTR/L, LMFT and I am a parenting and child development expert with 15+ years' experience. Licensed as both and Marriage and Family Therapist and Occupational Therapist, I have the unique experience of being able to look beyond the scope of one discipline to truly understand the whole child and the family as a unit. I have always believed in creating an honest, supportive and practical space for parents.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As a licensed MFT and OT, I bring a holistic approach to my practice, addressing the physical, emotional, and relational aspects of my clients' well-being. I am known for my warm demeanor, empathetic listening skills, and ability to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I believe in the power of humor and strive to infuse positivity and laughter into each therapy session, making sessions not only effective but also enjoyable experiences for my clients.

What you can expect from our first session

Normalize challenges, understand your child's needs, and foster family harmony for a more functional, fulfilling life.

I am truly passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of others.
