Biography: Hello and welcome! My name is Lisa Leibowitz and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Connecticut, where I reside with my family. I have a Bachelors degree in psychology from Emory University in Atlanta, GA and a Masters in social work (MSW) from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work in Bryn Mawr, PA. My experience includes individual counseling with adults and adolescents, parent guidance, family, and group work. After the past couple of years of dealing with the additional stress and worry in our daily lives brought about by the pandemic - job and financial strains, health concerns, restrictions on activities and social interactions, and more time spent at home, indoors and, for some, alone - it's clear that many among us are experiencing a sense of "burn-out". As a parent, I'm also aware of how difficult it has been, and continues to be, for our kids. The disruptions they experienced during the peak of the pandemic, both academically and socially, created a host of new challenges for parents as well. When it's difficult for kids, it's difficult for their parents! Some of us still struggle with concerns about aging relatives and many older adults still struggle with feeling cut-off from family and friends. It's difficult to measure the impact the pandemic has had, and continues to have, on each of us - isolation and loneliness, frustration and anger, fear, stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss - but it is undeniable and enduring for many. Under any circumstances, it's my belief that most people could use some additional support at one time or another. I would like to offer that support, in whatever way I can, whether your concerns happen to involve pandemic-related "burn-out" or not. Through empathetic, non-judgmental listening and coaching, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(CBT/DBT), and Mindfulness techniques, my goal is to help you cope more effectively with whatever challenging situations and emotions you are experiencing at this time - whether that means finding time for self-care and achieving better balance in your life, acquiring tools to manage stress or other difficult or painful emotions, working on interpersonal effectiveness and relationship issues, building strategies to help you support your kids, or discovering new sources of satisfaction and social/emotional outlets. With a warm, interactive and client-centered approach, I will take your lead to determine our focus throughout the process and we will work together in the way that feels most helpful and supportive to you. You've taken an important first step by reaching out today and I very much look forward to meeting and getting to know you!

Biography: I believe that every personality trait that comprises our identity can manifest in many different behaviors. Some behaviors can be helpful while others may have been helpful in crisis or extreme stress until they stop being helpful. My goal in therapy is to understand how unhelpful behaviors correspond with personality traits and to help my clients find more helpful behaviors to use instead of the ones that are no longer working for them. I am enthusiastic about being strength's based which means I strive to understand how unhelpful behaviors have been helpful in the past because I understand these behaviors as part of survival instincts. I also believe that our biggest strengths are our biggest weakness and our biggest weaknesses are our biggest strengths. The result of all these beliefs is that my therapeutic rapport is non-judgmental and collaborative. I can tend towards a more reflective rather than directive style and I'm open to incorporating more guidance if needed. I'm experienced in psychodynamic approaches, mindfulness, attachment theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience working with children/teens and families with intergenerational trauma and adults with acute mental health conditions requiring higher levels of care than outpatient therapy. Much like a doctor - I've seen it all and there is nothing a patient could say or do that I haven't experienced. If you're looking for someone who can accept you where you're at and help you to make the changes that you want in your life I'm a good choice. Please Note: I will ask any client reporting passive suicidal ideation and/or self harm to follow a safety plan including regular discussion about their self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. I use evidence based methods to decrease the frequency and severity of self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. If you are reporting thoughts, plan, and intent to harm yourself or others I will work with you to make sure you can get evaluated for your safety.
