Lisa Dorfman

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories and DBT skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Sessions often include breathing and mindfulness exercises, and discussions about nutrition and energy when relevant to wellbeing.

Lisa aims to help clients increase motivation, strengthen self-worth, and regain balance after setbacks. She frames each conversation around what the person wants to achieve. Her approach treats setbacks as part of a learning process.

She encourages small, doable changes rather than dramatic overhauls. Clients are invited to try different tools and keep what works for them. Lisa describes her work as supportive and empowering.

She helps people tap into their strengths and move past barriers that have kept them from feeling their best. Background and approach: Lisa trained and practiced in both counseling and nutrition, which informs her focus on body image, eating and food-related issues, caregiver stress, and energy concerns.

She has worked with those facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, postpartum depression, grief, career strain, and first responder or veteran-related stressors. In sessions she combines talk therapy with practical exercises, guided breathing, mindfulness, and movement toward clear goals. The goal is steady progress and renewed confidence over time.
