Lisa Lennihan LCSW

About Me

I am Elizabeth Lennihan, a licensed clinical social worker and psychoanalyst based in Glendale, Wisconsin. My passion lies in helping individuals understand themselves better and cultivate lasting change in their lives. I offer a warm, thoughtful approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive space for open exploration and growth.

My background is deeply rooted in both social work and psychoanalysis. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Chicago. I completed my postgraduate training at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, where I received certification as an adult psychoanalyst. I also hold faculty positions at the Wisconsin Institute for Psychoanalysis and the Medical College of Wisconsin, where I contribute to the development and education of future mental health professionals.

My Approach

Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process of exploration and discovery. We will delve into the roots of your struggles, considering your early life experiences, coping mechanisms, and current life circumstances. This deeper understanding will empower you to make informed choices and create lasting change in your life.

The Services I Offer

I provide a range of services tailored to individual needs, including:

• Individual Psychotherapy: Addressing a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, trauma, and relationship issues.
• Psychoanalysis: In-depth exploration of your unconscious mind and its influence on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
• Supervision: For licensed therapists seeking support and guidance in their clinical practice.

What Sets Me Apart

My unique blend of psychoanalytic knowledge and social work experience allows me to offer a holistic approach to mental health. I have a deep understanding of the complex social and economic factors that can influence mental well-being. Additionally, my extensive experience and passion for learning allow me to provide clients with the most current and effective interventions.
