Lissa Khema Merkel
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Psychotherapist who has been working with adults and children for more than 15 years. Clinical supervisor and Meltal Health Consultant for different organizations. I am bilingual Spanish and I have been serving the Hispanic community for 15 years as well. My hope is to create a safe and nurturing environment for individuals that are looking for guidance towards a healthier way of processing and coping.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, I will learn about you and I will take time to know what you like and the specific challenges that you are facing. We will create a plan that will help us to improve your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have helped families, adults and children to improve their lives for more than 15 years. Some children and parents were able to see radical positive changes within weeks (by using Parent Child Interaction Therapy). I am also a clinical supervisor who has been serving the Hispanic community for more than 15 years. I am bilingual Spanish as well.

Fully bookedMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Specializing in empowering individuals and couples, I believe therapy its a Journey to unlock pathways to a more enriching life. I do specialize in Latino and Hispanic clients. Using CBT with children and adults for the past 15 years, helps to challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage depressive symptoms, as well as improving quality of life. We usually use CBT to recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change thinking patterns, which will help to reduce anxiety and stress. In short, My hope is to create a safe and nurturing environment for individuals that are looking for guidance towards a healthier way of processing and coping.
Attachment-based
I have been succesfully using attachment based therapy for more than 15 years to help adults, children and family reduce anxiety, depression and disruptive behaviors.
