Living Therapy

My name is MyLisa Kesselman and I'm a licensed therapist in private practice. I believe in the immense power of therapy to facilitate self-discovery, transformation, and growth. With a warm and collaborative approach, I guide individuals, couples, and groups towards greater emotional well-being and fulfilling lives.

My therapeutic style is compassionate, person-centered, and strengths-based. I draw on evidenced-based methods like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and Trauma Art Narrative Therapy to address a wide range of challenges, including:

• Anxiety and Depression: Learn effective coping mechanisms to manage overwhelming emotions and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
• Past Trauma: Heal from past experiences - sexual abuse, assault, or other traumatic events - and move forward with confidence.
• Relationship Issues: Build and nurture healthy, fulfilling relationships with partners, family, and friends.
• Personal Growth: Explore your potential, discover your strengths, and achieve your personal goals.
