About Lisa
She draws on ten years of clinical experience and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. The Ph.D. designation is spelled out here as Doctor of Philosophy. Her license is CA Psychologist 17800, which reflects practice in California.
In sessions she listens first and then works with clients to set clear, achievable goals. She often combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools to help people test thoughts and try new behaviors. Conversations are direct but supportive, and homework or small experiments are used when helpful.
Her background includes work with parenting issues, blended family challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and women's health matters such as postpartum mood changes and fertility stress. She also addresses somatization and seasonal affective disorder as part of broader stress and mood work.
People who come for help usually want practical changes they can use right away. Dr. Sullivan focuses on identifying obstacles and building step-by-step plans. Readers should confirm current session formats before scheduling to ensure they match their needs.
