Psychodynamic Therapists in Milton, MA

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.

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.

My practice is devoted to helping women feel more empowered and at ease in their lives. My style in therapy is to encourage the exploration of identified problems from a compassionate and non-judgmental perspective with a solutions-focused orientation. Collaboration is central to my work, including working together to define goals and carefully monitor progress throughout the course of treatment. I work with women to address: mood disturbance, relationship issues, improving work/life balance, substance use/dependence disorders, and perinatal/parenting issues.

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.

My specialties focus on helping individuals struggling with anxiety, stressors, self-esteem, interpersonal challenges with friends, partners, and family, as well as unhealthy romantic relationships, sexual assault, and trauma.

Successful people need therapy too. I specialize in working with high-achieving professionals who need support navigating difficult moments and transitions in their lives.

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.
