Lisa Franklin Topchik
Mental Health Practitioner & Coach
Welcome!
Has anyone ever said to you "Maybe you should talk to someone?" Have you ever asked yourself the same question? If so, let's have a conversation.
I have been a mental health practitioner for over 20 years working with individuals, couples, and groups.
I will work side by side with you to help you overcome challenges, gain a better understanding of yourself, and improve the quality of your life.
"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." Brene Brown
My Approach
As a mental health practitioner, I have a passion for helping people navigate through life's struggles. I use an integrative approach to help my clients find balance and peace. I combine a variety of therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed therapies such as EMDR. I create a comfortable and nurturing space for clients to talk about anything and everything, and I am often an active and engaged participant. My approach is aimed at achieving lasting and meaningful results.
***PLEASE NOTE: All of my sessions are done virtually using a HIPAA compliant, confidential platform.
About Me
While I work with people on a wide variety of issues, my specialities include anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, sexual dysfunction, and chronic illness, and I work with young adults, adult individuals, couples, and groups. I am trained in Imago Therapy, Sex Therapy, EMDR Trauma Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I received my BA from Amherst College and my MSW from Catholic University.
Therapist? Practitioner? Coach? Consultant? Due to state and federal regulations regarding working with clients in multiple states, my title is no longer "psychotherapist." I now call myself a "mental health practitioner" or "mental health coach."
