Hi, I’m Lisa Marie, and I’m so glad you’re here. It takes tremendous courage to seek support for a personal matter, and I appreciate you taking the time to learn about my practice. I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice with over 15-years of professional experience working with teens and adults across many settings. I specialize in developmental and complex trauma, anxiety disorders, process addictions, disordered-eating behaviors, and relational and attachment issues. Through a trauma-informed, cross-cultural perspective, I creatively integrate somatic and experiential therapies, mindfulness principles, and holistic practices to create a balanced, whole-person approach to healing and personal growth. My therapeutic style is collaborative and dynamic, emphasizing the intimate relationship between the human body and psychological wellbeing. Learning to listen and trust our body’s innate wisdom is an effective strategy for building self-trust and self-worth, two critical components of a healthy relationship with our authentic-Self. I encourage clients to use body-centered exercises, visualization, and artistic expression to find their voice and reconceptualize their fears with a more direct approach. Emotional safety is paramount when helping clients process their trauma, work through complex emotions, and address maladaptive behaviors. With compassionate intention, I hold space for clients to be vulnerable and share their sacred stories. As a transformational alchemist, I help clients transcend their limiting beliefs by exploring creative ways to utilize their unique strengths to foster personal growth and success. It would be my pleasure to join you on your journey towards emotional health and wellness.

25 years offering treatment
I am licensed in New Jersey with 25 years of professional work experience. I am warm and engaging and I am usually able to connect with most. I would say my expertise would be helping those who are facing a life change or transition. Someone going through a break-up, graduating college, changing jobs. Also, with an extensive background working on the medical side, I am very comfortable helping those facing a medical diagnosis, or helping their loved one cope with one. I primarily treat using the CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) model, and mostly provide short term therapy with the idea that you learn new strategies and tools to manage life stressors, and you no longer need therapy. I firmly believe no two experiences are the same, so although I have talked to many people, I want to hear your story and how things impacted you. We will focus on the goals you have set for treatment. It takes courage to seek help and take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My goal is for you to feel as comfortable as possible in speaking with me and to work as a team to meet your desired goals.
