Meet The Founder
Lisa Gilman LCSW BCD

Lisa Gilman Headshot

I am Lisa Gilman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Certified Diplomate with over 30 years of psychotherapy and coaching experience. It has been extremely fulfilling to build a practice dedicated to providing personalized care and strong therapeutic alliances. Throughout my career, I have been committed to guiding individuals and couples through various life stages, assisting them in discovering meaning and direction. My unique approach involves offering thoughtful feedback and reflections characterized by kindness, sensitivity, and humor, fostering strong therapeutic alliances built on mutual respect and trust.

 

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology with minors in Sociology and Music at SUNY Albany. I then earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work at New York University, where I continued on for post graduate advanced clinical training. I am certified in EMDR (levels 1 and 2) and recognized as a Board-Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work.

 

 

​

I am deeply committed to professional development and am involved in organizations such as the Association of Social Work Boards, the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation and the New York State Society of Clinical Social Work. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of presenting and training at prestigious institutions such as NYU and Yeshiva University. Additionally, I have been published on my area of expertise, which focuses on trauma’s influence on love and attachment.
 

My practice has evolved significantly over the years. What began as a solo endeavor has grown into a comprehensive practice with multiple skilled clinicians.  Each of these carefully vetted and selected professionals enriches our service offerings and enables us to effectively address a broader range of client needs and preferences. At our practice, we offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to support your journey towards emotional well-being and fulfillment. We provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups.  We also offer individual and group coaching that focuses on goal setting and attainment, transition and change, negotiation and conflict resolution. 

Recognizing the uniqueness of everyone, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to working with people. Each person's distinct identity will always be honored and embraced, as we remain attuned to factors such as cultural background, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity and family dynamics.

If you have any questions or want to explore our services further, please do not hesitate to make contact. Finding a good match is crucial to your journey, and we are here to help you,
