Lisa has been great. She asks questions that help her understand what I'm going thru and has offered up resources as well

Lisa is amazing! From the first session she made me feel comfortable. She listens without judgement and suggests solutions to my problems. She helps me to understand myself better and even sends me extra material for me to view. Highly recommend her as a therapist

Lisa Allen has been very competent, and is invested when I’m speaking, is able to help me identify the things I need to work on, and helps me get out of my head away from the anxiety. She’s wonderful and has given many coping mechanisms and devices to aid in my troubles. 10/10 would reccomend

Lisa is great at listening and focusing on your primary need. When you leave the conversation you feel better and lighter. She is honest with her knowledge and expertise.
