I can work with you on a solution focused brief therapy model, in addition to a more psychodynamic approach.
Welcome to my practice. I work with individual clients to manage stress, build more satisfying relationships, and increase self-esteem. I also work with parents to assist with balancing their needs while addressing the learning styles of their children. My practice would tend to be a good fit if you seek a warm, interactive style. My training includes cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and most importantly, mindfulness-based approaches. I believe that therapy is about honoring who you are now and bringing compassion and skills to live your best life. Please contact me at LisaDStapleton@gmail.com to schedule.

I am trained in the following treatment methods: increasing insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT), and understanding relationships (family systems, relational).
Currently - limited daytime openings available. Psychotherapy can provide a caring and safe space to navigate life's many transitions and challenges -- both expected and unexpected. I approach my work from a place of respect, warmth, and curiosity toward my clients and their concerns. I help clients develop understanding and skills that allow them to reduce symptoms, facilitate personal growth, and make positive changes in their lives. Each client receives individually tailored treatment and, together, we identify and develop therapeutic goals. It is an honor for me to work with individuals on their personal journeys.

TELEHEALTH ONLY AT THIS TIME. Beginning therapy takes bravery. If anxiety, moodiness or depression won’t let go; or if you feel trapped by patterns that you cannot break, it is a signal to seek care. I would be honored to welcome you to my practice. If you’re a teenager whose worries or moods have become overwhelming, you aren’t alone. As adults we may find ourselves stuck or overwhelmed. Perhaps life is changing, whether by design or as an intrusion to a life humming along. Perhaps you are struggling with questions of meaning and purpose. When your ability to engage in life has diminished, seeking help makes sense.

A licensed psychologist since 1983, I learned early the vast importance of insight into the life experiences and other factors that determine a person's emotional balance. I have worked with a wide range of adults, from those with significant mental illness to those motivated by a desire for self-knowledge, including other mental health professionals. I encourage deep reflection, reading and a wellness-oriented lifestyle. My clients learn to see me as a guide with knowledge of psychodynamics who will encourage and promote their self-development throughout the adult lifecycle.

Psychodynamic Therapists
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
