Lisa Ades, PhD

Welcome

Welcome to my practice. I started Lisa Ades, PhD & Associates, so that I could participate in the meaningful work of helping people navigate life’s challenges, build confidence and restore hope.

My goal is to provide a warm and supportive environment where clients feel safe to explore unresolved issues, vulnerabilities and relational difficulties that interfere with happiness or life satisfaction. I work creatively and collaboratively with my clients and meet each individual and/or couple where they are in their unique journey. I believe it is important to tailor my approach to each client’s individual needs and strengths.

I like to emphasize the importance of increasing self-awareness and compassion so clients can move away from old, unproductive patterns to a place of peace and self-acceptance. I help individuals and couples make connections between their past and their present in order to build a healthier perspective of self and to rid themselves of distorted, maladaptive interpretations.

Talking about your problems with strangers may sound intimidating but group therapy is a powerful and effective therapy modality. The support and encouragement from group members can decrease feelings of isolation and can enhance change and healing.

You don’t have to face your problems alone.
