Lisa J Condon

People typically come to see me when they feel anxious, depressed, stressed out, or stuck. I find that what distresses people most is not their actual feelings, but their reaction to their feelings. I work with clients to help them be more compassionate with themselves, so that they can develop a sense of curiosity and acceptance toward their experiences. As people become curious about why they feel the way they do, they are able to see their situation in a new light, and can come up with new solutions. I work from a psychodynamic perspective and help clients better understand their subjective experience and the ways in which past experiences may be interfering with their leading a more satisfying life. I also use mindfulness to help clients be more compassionate with themselves and to emphasize a person's strengths. I work with adults and with older teenagers (age 17 to 19). I have recently changed to full-time private practice, and have openings for new clients.
