Lisa Wyatt

Lisa Wyatt works with people who feel confused or overwhelmed by parts of their life that are getting in the way of how they want to live. She helps clients move from uncertainty to greater confidence in handling difficult situations with family members, partners, or at work.

She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California, credentialed to provide marriage and family therapy (CA LMFT 51873), and has been practicing for 19 years. Over the course of her career she has supported people managing stress and anxiety, parents struggling with child-related challenges, individuals affected by addiction in themselves or loved ones, survivors of trauma and abuse, and professionals in helping roles who face burnout.

Lisa frames emotional responses as a normal, human reaction to life events and focuses on what happens after those reactions. She brings a neutral viewpoint to the situation and collaborates with clients to identify realistic, individualized solutions that fit their lives - recognizing that what works for one person may not work for another.

Her primary orientation is person-centered, letting clients set the tone for sessions. She also uses strength-based strategies to build on existing resources, cognitive-behavioral techniques to examine how thoughts influence behavior, and Gestalt methods to explore difficulties from multiple perspectives. She draws from additional approaches as needed and tailors her work to each client’s specific needs.

Reaching out for help is an important first step, and Lisa looks forward to working with new clients as they pursue the changes they want to make in their lives.
