LISA GRAFF-MARSH

I have been a private practice therapist since February 1992. The client population that comes through my office are individuals and couples that are struggling in various ways. My passion is to help people get in touch with their authentic selves, access core emotions, become more present in their lives, more connected, in touch and able to identify the sensations that happen inside one's body. This happens through compassion, connection, empathy, curiosity and the realization you do not have to struggle alone. This process helps the client to live a fuller, more satisfying productive life. If you have the idea that therapy is a sign of weakness, that could not be further from the truth. Asking for help does not indicate weakness or incompetence. It shows an advanced degree of honesty and intelligence. Therapy is a non-judgmental, compassionate meeting between client and therapist. Over time a trusting , safe relationship gets established. I have been particularly drawn to several modalities that I have come to integrate into my working with clients. They are Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, KAP, PHRI, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Contemporary Psychoanalysis, and Mindfulness.
