Therapists in Agoura Hills, CA

I work with a wide array of clients. If you are self motivated; enjoy exploration and play; (both kids and adults), and are interested in exploring all facets of yourself, please call today. I use a holistic approach, and explore all factors which affect mental health including physical health, nutrition, family dynamics, and relationships.

My mission is your personal growth. As a positive psychologist, I design our sessions focusing on encouraging you to identify and develop your own positive emotions, positive experiences and positive traits. Initially our work includes your most pressing concerns, but my overall treatment plan nurtures that which is best within you. We study your strengths and virtues and tailor new ways to use your resources and achieve your goals. In a safe atmosphere, we remove obstacles, change unhelpful thinking patterns and unsupportive behaviors, all in an effort to enhance your happiness.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. We can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety or depression, or feel you've hit a wall to progress, these states can create stress and disconnection, making personal fulfillment in career and relationships challenging. As we understand that physical exercise builds and strengthens our physical endurance, psychotherapy is a process of building and strengthening the mind's capacity to endure and respond. The therapeutic process is rooted in connection, transparency, and authenticity. I work from a collaborative and mindfulness approach to help guide my clients in understanding the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and actions to effect change.

A lot of fighting going on? Work it out NOW! I help individuals and families improve the quality of their lives. Parents are included to help the issues our children face today to form a strong family unit and get through tough times. I have been trained in many modalities, including psychotherapy, communication, play therapy, sandtray work, education, visualization, meditation and hypnosis.

In my 30 years of personal and professional development, I have created a unique approach to bring hope and strength, healing and transformation to those who are ready. It is my honor to provide and hold space for you as I offer assistance with your empowerment, acceptance, trust, forgiveness and gratitude. My philosophy is based on healing relationship within Self, with others and with the world. Our time together is precious and I will share with you mindful and compassionate practices and share the value of authenticity, and presence.

Greetings!

Hi, I’m Lisa, Are you overwhelmed by a big life change? I work with men and women going through major life transitions and events who want to regain control of their lives and find their peace again. On the inside, you might be feeling deep grief, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future. Whether it is the death of a loved one, a divorce, a diagnosis, or another life transition, it deserves to be processed fully. Because not dealing with the emotions you are going through often leads to further issues like increased anxiety and depression.

I believe each one of us has the capacity and resilience to live a full, meaningful life, in spite of painful and traumatic experiences; but we need a place where the unbearable feelings can be expressed, shared, and understood-opening new paths and new possibilities for deeper meaning in our lives. I am privileged to walk alongside you and help you grow beyond the places you have felt disheartened and convinced that expansiveness and growth were out of reach. Therapy provides a profoundly relational context for emotional expansiveness, human understanding, and a growing capacity to bear life's inevitable trials.

Are you finding that you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and in need of a lifejacket? Sometimes life can be very challenging, and I can offer guidance, compassion, and understanding without judgment. I work with others to help them discover their hidden strengths and resources, to truly create a life worth living.
