Lisa Litner, LICSW
From a young age, I envisioned myself in the role of helping others navigate difficult periods. As I got older, this vision began to materialize as I went on to study psychology in college and pursue an MSW in graduate school at Boston College. Since then I have been afforded with a variety of different therapeutic opportunities including work at college counseling centers, schools, special education settings, social skills programs, etc. From there, I have worked in the private practice setting, seeing both individuals and groups for therapy.
Clinical experience:
After earning a masters in clinical social work from Boston College, I have had 15+ years of experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families in a variety of different settings. These include schools, college counseling centers, social skills group programs, and a therapy practice. I regularly attend trainings and continuing education programs on a variety of topics related to mental health.
specializations:
Although I do not have an exclusive focus area, a large majority of clients I see tend to fall into the young adult range including college and graduate students through mid adulthood. Although each client presents with their own unique story, some of the most frequently discussed topics are related to:
- Transitions
- Anxiety
- Asperger’s Syndrome
- Depression
- Learning Disabilities
- OCD
- Relationship/ Familial Challenges
- Sexuality
- And many more
I am licensed to see clients located in FL, KS, (temporarily), MA, MD, NC, NJ, RI, VA and VI.
