As a therapist, I won't: try to fix you, give you advice, tell you what to do, pretend I know more about you than you do, assume what is best for you, have all the answers, or make the hard stuff go away. As a therapist I will: Remind you that you aren't broken, give you room to access your own wisdom, support you, recognize that you are the expert in your own life, honor that I don't know it all, and collaborate with you on how to make the hard things easier to sit with. -Lisa Olivera
As an associate therapist my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals seeking support for challenges like [anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.]. My approach integrates CBT, mindfulness, some EMDR, and Narrative therapy, tailored to each client's unique needs.
I believe in fostering a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. Together, we work on identifying patterns, building resilience, and developing coping strategies for growth and healing. Whether you're navigating a life transition, struggling with mental health, or simply seeking personal development, I'm here to support you or your child through the process.
I work with adults and children of all ages, and hold certifications in Trauma Focused Therapy and EMDR Phase 1 Therapy. My goal is to support you or your child in finding balance, enhancing well-being, and creating lasting change.
