Lisa Spielman

If you choose me, you will be getting someone with a wide variety of experiences. I worked in the corporate world as well as 15 years in the counseling arena. I attend yearly conferences to stay abreast of the most recent counseling trends. My specialty is young people aged 14 to 30 who are dealing with anxiety about their education, relationships, and careers. I also spent five years working with couples and families in a therapeutic way. I have frequently worked with LGBT+ individuals.

I am open and do my best to create a relaxed and non judgmental environment that feels safe to explore your deep emotional issues. My focus is utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral framework to identify negative thoughts and how they can influence ones life. I also draw from a Solution Focused approach which allows client to identify problems and create effective solutions to resolve them. When working with anxiety, I help client manage symptoms in a realistic way.

Most important to me is making a strong connection. I work to make sure my clients feel accepted and validated. I provide a safe place to speak freely and truly explore their inner most thoughts and feelings. I hope to be part of their support system and someone they can trust to be honest with them.
