Psychotherapy
Lisa Lee grew up in Boca Raton always knowing she wanted to be a therapist.
“I saw that people needed a safe place to go,” she says. “And I had this calling that I wanted to help people feel safe. I wanted to encourage people to grow.”
Lee helps patients who want to live their best lives. They don’t necessarily have to be dealing with difficulties although she commonly helps patients with such conditions as anxiety and depression.
“I do not think in our world today you have to have something wrong with you to say, ‘I want to make sure I’m living the fullest life I can live,’” she says. “I think sometimes we get stuck, and we numb ourselves and just go through life. I want to empower a person to become who they want to be.”
One way Lee does this is by limiting how many patients she has.
“I create an environment where both the client and I are emotionally present and where the interaction can be truly authentic,” she says. “I invest in my clients. I am their ally. We are a team.”
Today, Lee works with patients using a number of techniques including EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), hypnosis and attachment therapy.
“I believe that how I connect with the client is really important,” she says. “I have many different tools and I choose techniques based on more than 20 years of experience.”
For anyone considering therapy, Lee says to just do it. Therapy is a way to get the support you need, to help you focus on living the life you want.
“Don’t be scared to start therapy,” she says. “And it doesn’t have to be every week. Even if a person goes once a month to say, ‘Hey, am I meeting my goals? Am I really being authentically me?’” She is seeing incredible growth in clients by creating a safe place with empathy and accountability.
