Lisa Drexler, PhD

My journey to becoming a psychologist was fueled by a deep-seated desire to understand the human experience and empower individuals to overcome their struggles. I believe in the inherent potential for growth and change within every individual, and I have dedicated my career to creating a safe and supportive space for people to explore their anxieties, painful memories, and emotional struggles.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and personalized. I utilize a blend of evidence-based methodologies, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. This allows me to tailor my interventions to each client's unique needs and goals.

What I Offer

I offer a comprehensive range of services to address various mental health concerns, including:

• Anxiety and Depression: Learning coping mechanisms to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce excessive worry, and restore emotional balance.
• Trauma and Past Experiences: Processing traumatic events and their impact on your present life.
• Relationship Issues: Improving communication, resolving conflict, and building stronger connections with loved ones.
• Stress Management: Implementing practical strategies to reduce stress, manage time effectively, and achieve a sense of calmness and balance.
• Addiction and Substance Abuse: Developing strategies for overcoming addictive behaviors and building sustainable recovery.

My Background and Experience

My formal education includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and English Literature, followed by a PhD in Clinical Psychology. My clinical experience has spanned various settings, including university counseling centers, community mental health centers, and residential treatment facilities. These diverse experiences have honed my skills in providing compassionate and client-centered care.

I believe in the power of therapy to be a transformative journey, and I am committed to creating a warm and welcoming space for clients to explore their inner lives, learn new coping skills, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.
