Hi, my name is Lisa Woolner, and I am an LCSW. I'm so glad you're here. For the past 13 years I've been helping people struggling with substance use and mental health issues. This has given me an opportunity to develop a diverse background working with various issues such as substance use, anxiety, depression, processing and communicating difficult emotions, marital issues, low self esteem, communication problems, past trauma, and family of origin issues.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we'll do brief introductions and then I want to hear your story and get to know you. We will discuss what therapy will look like and what your goals and expectations are. We will complete a biopsychosocial assessment in our first session which will help me get to know you in various catagories. We will work together to create a comprehensive treatment plan to work through on follow up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I aim to create a non judgmental space where you feel supported as we navigate through any issues that brought you to therapy. I believe that building trust is vital. I am willing to meet you where you are and help guide you through issues that may be standing in your way to peace, happiness, and positive mental health.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been utilizing CBT for over 13 years to help my clients with a wide array of presenting problems to help them target and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that are fueling negative feelings and behaviors such as low self esteem, depression, anxiety, anger management and resentment issues, and family issues.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I utilize DBT informed therapy to help my clients learn to accept and understand their difficult emotions by helping you learn mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and dialectical thinking.
