Everyone wants an emotionally connected and happy life; however, achieving it can feel impossible at times. My passion is working with adult survivors of trauma, neglect, abandonment, abuse, and traumatic events, and my training is focused solely on supporting trauma survivors. Our sessions move at a pace that is right for you, and I offer a safe, calm environment. I am trained in trauma informed counseling approaches, including Attachment Theory, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experience Therapy, and Dialectical- Behavioral Therapy.
My specialties include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experience Therapy, and Dialectical- Behavioral Therapy; additionally, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment Theory. While I currently hold a master’s degree, I am also in the process of completing a doctorate in clinical psychology.
My career in mental health began in 2007, and I have over 14 years of experience working with individuals, couples/ relationships, and families. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I work with adult survivors of trauma and abuse as well as adults experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
My sessions are structured but relaxed, so counseling always feels comfortable and safe. Throughout the counseling process, I provide opportunities for you to practice new skills in session. We work together to make the necessary changes to help you find happiness.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lisa Savinon. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I am so grateful to have had Lisa as my therapist. I was and am still dealing with intimacy issues that stem from years of childhood trauma. I have been carrying this baggage for years and I still am. After only two months of working with Lisa, I feel a lot of that baggage being lifted and my perspective has changed considerably. Lisa is not only empathetic but also rational. She affirms your feelings while giving a logical explanation as to why you feel the way you do. It helps validate my feelings and makes me feeling more accepting of them that I’m not just irrational. I would recommend her.

Lisa is amazing! I experienced more personal personal growth and worked through a lot of personal baggage and childhood trauma that I have been holding onto for years.

I have had two sessions so far ! Lisa is fantastic ! She listens, offers tools to help outside of the session & helps this idea of reaching out for help seem as normal as it can be. Im looking forward to our upcoming sessions !
