About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Sullivan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in self esteem, or struggling with parenting and relationship stress. She works with those facing grief, life transitions, ADHD challenges, and depression. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at finding clearer ways forward rather than adding more pressure.
She draws on ten years of professional experience and holds the credential CA Psychologist 17800, which indicates licensure in California. Her background includes clinical work with adults, adolescents, and children, and she has provided psychological testing services as part of that work. She also mentions personal experience juggling a driven lifestyle, which informs a practical, relatable approach.
Therapy sessions focus on understanding the real obstacles that keep someone from feeling fulfilled. Conversations move toward small changes that fit daily life, like shifting unhelpful thoughts, testing new behavior, and improving communication at home. Dr. Sullivan uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for the client’s concerns and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address patterns of thinking and behavior.
She pays attention to issues that often show up together, such as somatic symptoms, postpartum mood changes, fertility-related stress, and midlife questions. She also helps with blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and communication problems. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
If you are thinking about starting, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. This process helps match needs and goals before the first appointment.
