Come, let me lead you on a journey of self-discovery! Your journey will be filled with possibilities and opportunities; I am unlike other therapists. I am a change agent! Our discussions will be interactive by utilizing experiential wisdom and clinical practice. Expect more. I am a Doctor of Social Work and a scholar-practitioner with three social work degrees. I am an LCSW for Florida State and an LMSW for New York State. I recognize the ancient Buddhist teachings of Kathoey Culture. My greatest strength is helping people move beyond being stuck, feeling vulnerable and invisible to society. I see you! I have dedicated my professional life to serving others.
People should know that I have many years of lived experiences as a HB (human being). I empathize with people who are stuck in trauma or just in life. I work very well with people who feel lonely and isolated. Clients have said "You don't give homework but all I do after a session is process what we've talked about and want to learn more about me."
My greatest strengths are empathy and communication. I have compassion and a nonjudgement presence for those individual diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Life does not happen without challenges, but through talk therapy; resilience, hope, and grit emerge.
Clinically, I am a humanistic therapist. I apply an eclectic approach to support clients, often drawing heavily on Person-Centered Theory. I am a Trauma-Informed clinician promoting safety, empowerment, and a healing culture. I am proud to work with the LGBTQ+ population and veterans.

So caring, so patient, I feel safe when I talk to Dr. Lisa and it’s my first time having a session. I look forward to speaking to her more!!!

Dr. Woolston & I have had 3 session so far. Most of our time has been me "unpacking" the grief which has overwhelmed me for a very long time, but especially for the past 8-14 years. Lisa immediately impressed me w/ her genuine, warm and understanding nature. Finding a therapist w/ whom you feel you can connect AND can help you heal is challenging. Sharing your hx is also very painful, almost like reliving it. But w/ the right guidance & effort, what you get out of it = what you put in.

Doctor Woolston has been an excellent resource in my journey away from anxiety. We have been meeting for the last three months and I can wholeheartedly recommend her.
