Lisa Muscato, LCPC (She/Her) is dedicated to walking alongside you as you explore the intricate layers of your personal story. Her approach is compassionate and adaptable, creating a space where you’ll always feel heard, valued, and empowered to take on life’s challenges at your own pace. Therapy with Lisa isn’t just about problem-solving—it’s about helping you find clarity, connection, and deeper self-understanding.

Lisa’s therapeutic style is rooted in person-centered, psychodynamic, and relational therapies, but she knows that no two journeys are the same. That’s why she tailors her methods to meet you exactly where you are, blending techniques to create a unique, supportive experience for each individual. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of trauma, Lisa's eclectic approach provides the flexibility you need to address complex emotions and move toward healing.

Specializing in trauma, particularly complex and early childhood experiences, Lisa uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support deep, transformative healing. She also offers a safe, non-judgmental space for those navigating spirituality and its role in their mental health. If you're grappling with how identity, spirituality, and past experiences intersect, Lisa will guide you through those explorations with care and understanding.

Lisa is particularly attuned to issues of identity, including the ways race and gender can shape the therapeutic experience. As a white cisgender female, she actively works to ensure her practice remains inclusive and affirming. Lisa, along with the entire team, has completed advanced training in LGBTQIA+ and trans/non-binary-affirming care, ensuring that every client is met with acceptance and support.

In her work, Lisa enjoys using creative analogies to make complex emotions and concepts more tangible, helping you track your progress and gain insight. These personal metaphors often bring lightbulb moments that deepen the therapeutic experience.

When she’s not working with clients, Lisa finds joy in life’s simple moments. Whether she’s curled up with a good book, exploring new hiking trails, or spending time with loved ones, she’s always seeking inspiration from the world around her.
