Lisa Makris, LPC

About my approach (style) to therapy…

My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered. My role is to help you find your way on your path to true happiness and peace, whatever that means for you. I will be supportive, nonjudgemental and at times will offer a different perspective. I will be a listening ear, supporting you in whatever daily struggles you experience, or any life changes you are facing. You may want to explore current and past personal relationships, choices and experiences as we work toward your current goals.

About my background and training…

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Oswego State University and a master’s degree in counseling from the College of William and Mary. My experience includes working in outpatient clinics, schools, and family therapy clinics. I am trauma-informed and have additional training in TF-CBT. While I primarily work with individuals, my background and experience in family therapy can help in exploring your patterns of interaction in your own family, as well as ways that may be impacting your life currently.

About my work (ideal clients)…

My areas of focus include Maternal mental health, managing stress and changes in your life, women’s issues, relationships, overcoming trauma and family of origin issues, parenting and reproductive mental health, and navigating times of transition. I especially enjoy supporting young women who are just starting out on their journey to figure out their career, relationships and what they want out of life. I work with clients who may be experiencing some stress or self-doubts as they navigate a new time in their lives. I’m a supportive, listening ear as you start to unpack your current and past experiences and begin to make intentional choices to lead you on the path to a life you love.

About me (personal interests)…

I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my husband and two daughters. I believe in the important role of time in nature as being critical for our overall wellness. I also enjoy animals and reading.
