Lisa Polisano, M.A., MFT

I specialize in counseling and therapy for children, teens, young adults and families. I know that it can be difficult to determine if your child may need professional intervention. However, if you feel that your child may be having some academic, behavioral, social or emotional difficulties or if you're struggling trying to parent or manage their behavioral problems, it may be just the right time to seek therapy. Your instincts are there for a reason and they're telling you that something is not right. Whether you're a parent or a client seeking therapy, you have come to the right place.
 
I address issues that can negatively impact healthy child and teen development such as behavioral problems (oppositional/defiant), attention difficulties and learning issues, video game/electronic addiction(s), peer pressure and bullying, school refusal/phobia, suicidality and self-injurious behavior, depression and anxiety disorders, substance abuse, social issues (difficulty making/keeping friends), sibling rivalry, parent/child conflicts, divorce reaction and blended family dynamics, and issues associated with abuse/neglect, trauma, grief and loss.
 
Additionally, I provide in-home, telephone* and web-based* (Skype) appointments to accommodate the busy schedules of clients or for those who would simply prefer the privacy and convenience of home-based or tele-therapy services. Home-Based services allow for specific skills to be demonstrated and practiced "right then and there," in the home.

*An Initial brief phone consultation is free. Please call to discuss fees for the service(s) you are interested in.
 
*Fees may be paid by cash or check each session or a Super Bill can be provided.

*Reduced fees for counseling/therapy services are available on a short-term basis and are available by request.

Please call to schedule an appointment.
