Lisa Kaelin, LCSW Making the decision to invest in therapy can feel like you’re taking a leap of faith. Will it be worth it? How do I find a therapist that’s right for me? What can they do that friends and family can’t? It makes sense to have all these questions and more. According to the American Psychological Association, about 75% of people who enter therapy show some benefit from it, (APA, 2012). Many variables impact how effective therapy is, but clearly the odds are in your favor that it’s worth a try. I am a therapist licensed in both New York and Florida with over 30 years of experience. My diverse career has provided me a depth of knowledge ranging from family and relationship issues to significant trauma. You’ll find my approach is relaxed, direct, and kind while incorporating time tested evidence based professional techniques. I believe everyone has the ability to manage life’s stressors with dignity and confidence so they can move forward and be the best version of themselves.
