Life situations and transitions can be challenging at times. My goal as a therapist is to offer a confidential and healthy environment for us to explore your concerns together. I strive to provide quality and compassionate care, meeting you where you are at, and helping you experience insight, growth, and healing. My approach to therapy is very relational. I want to know who you are and what you want from life. My hope is to guide you on the path that leads towards the full life you deserve.
I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, oppositional behaviors, grief and loss, body image concerns as well as relationship issues.

Once we begin the journey together, we can decide the direction towards healing.

Lisa has been an absolute blessing. No matter what, she's always there. She's the "friend" I can message at any point and know that I'm not bothering her. She always has great insight and suggestions. This has been the best decision!

Lisa Stevenson-Allen has been of great help to me. I suffer from chronic pain and depression and she seems to understand the issues I am going through and have advice that is helpful and has made a difference in my life. She is quick to respond and if I mark a request as urgent she responds very quickly to help with a crisis. It has been great to know she is there every day for support.
