Hello and Welcome! My name is Lisa Mottola Ernst, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker. I am so glad you found my website. We all experience difficult life events and increased stress which cause feelings of overwhelming sadness, anxiety, grief, and hopelessness. These feelings could be the result of a painful loss, a change in a relationship, career challenges, work-life imbalance, compassion fatigue, unexpected health issues of self or loved one or strained family dynamics. Therapy can help. It is a safe space to to allow for relieving emotional stress, exploring emotions that could be leaving you stuck in the muck of life.
