In the most basic terms, my professional interests are in the areas of health, identity, and personal growth. My approach is integrative and tailored to the client's needs. Therapeutic sessions attend to clients' current distress and foster awareness on how certain behaviors that were once adaptive may no longer be of benefit. The intention is to decrease distress, foster awareness, and encourage personal growth towards more mindful, healthful living.

Are you motivated to understand yourself better, grow in perspective and insight about your world and circumstances, and translate this learning into meaningful action? If so, we may be a good match! I believe truly effective therapy happens when we are ready to look deeply and critically at our current situation, ready to really try to make sustainable, practical changes, and able to be humble and self-compassionate in our attempts to flourish. You do not have to know exactly what you want or need, or have all the answers, but being willing to find those together is the key to meaningful therapy.

My approach to psychotherapy is highly relational. I believe that most of our distress in life, often in the form of anxiety, depression, or uncontrolled anger, arises from unresolved conflicts in our important relationships, past and present, and that psychotherapy works by providing a new relationship-a supportive, empathic one in a which person can explore these important interpersonal connections, come to understand them in new ways, and change them. I focus the dialogue on a person's significant relationships, past and current, and on the feelings that one has about oneself and the important people in one's life.

People come to my practice for many reasons, but what we all seem to have in common is a goal to feel more alive and at peace with ourselves and others, and truly connect in our relationships and with what we choose to do in the world. As an IFS therapist I work with people in a profoundly nonjudgmental way, where every past behavior, emotion, and thought can be intimately and compassionately understood. Change and growth then comes from a place of open-minded self knowledge and love... I have personally experienced transformation through this work and have witnessed its power to promote long lasting change in countless clients.

My primary focus is on supporting teens and young adults as they navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma, chronic illness, and substance abuse. I believe negative life events don’t have to upend your world. Together, we’ll explore the entire system—family, work, school, friends—and address what you can control while coping with what you can’t. Often, our biggest obstacles are the “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” we impose on ourselves. Clients have the freedom to guide our sessions and choose topics to explore, ensuring our work progresses at a pace that feels comfortable and right for them.

www.lissafriedman.com - I like to help people find the deep knot of their pattern, gently lovingly untie it, and bring healing to the wound. I have been a therapist for about 30 years, and in private Practice since 1987. While my style is eclectic, it is my warmth, compassion, and acceptance that underlie all of my work. I try to provide an environment, much like a container, for my clients to open to their own natural self compassion and acceptance. Seeing each person as whole, rather than deficient provides an environment for people to come to a natural place of healing.
