Lisa DeFeis

I am an experienced clinical social worker who is dedicated to helping adults to identify their strengths and learn the art of self-compassion, in order to make positive changes in their lives.

I have been a clinical social worker for 30 years. Throughout the years I have worked with people of many different backgrounds, age groups, sexual orientations, cultures, races and ethnicities. The people I work with all have one important thing in common - they are all seeking understanding, validation, and emotional support as they work towards making positive changes in their lives. I provide a safe, comforting, space for people to open up (often for the very first time) about their experiences, worries, hopes, and dreams for the future.
My specialty is meeting people where they are and giving them the time and space to tell their story ... I'm focused on helping them identify their many strengths, as well as the things they would like to change. I don't tell them what to do - I help them to figure out what is best for them and provide emotional support as they move toward their goals.
The people I work with feel genuinely cared about and believe that there is someone who is truly on their side.
