Greenpoint Psychotherapy is a holistically minded practice that functions on the premise that by allowing ourselves to accept and experience our emotions, we will increase assertive behavior leading to increased alignment between external & inner selves. We help clients with exploring how their past relationships and experiences continue to impact their present life, through identifying and changing thought patterns that have become unnecessarily negative or rigid, and learning to use difficult experiences to gain more insight about themselves so they are able to move forward with kindness instead of fear.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process where we can work together to try to understand your problems, identify obstacles, and consider new alternatives. I believe a trusting patient-therapist relationship is important to sucess in therapy. I strive to provide a warm & supportive space where you are encouraged to learn more about yourself so that you can work toward living the most rewarding and meaningful life possible.

We all face challenges in our lives at one time or another. It takes courage to ask for help. I thank you for taking the first step. I believe with the right support and guidance we all have the power to make positive change and grow from our experiences. I provide a trusting, nonjudgmental, and safe space for all.

Lisa Wilkinson is a LMHC with Footprints which was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. We began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

You are sick of having the same fight. If you don't do it, it won't get done. You've stopped asking because what's the point? You are exhausted and feel like you are the only one trying. You feel taken for granted. You've tried saying it calmly, you've yelled, you've cried...yet you continue to feel stuck. But regardless, it goes in one ear and out the other. You can't even remember how the last fight started or what it was REALLY about. You wonder "Can we work this out?"

These are difficult and important times that we can choose to inspire us toward personal growth. Let me help you feel less alone and stronger, develop your relationships, and strengthen your coping skills and immune system. I provide a variety of techniques to help you grow. They include talk therapy, EMDR, meditation, Hypnosis. and a spiritual orientation. All these methods enable you to relax and contact your inner strength and wisdom. Thus, you will be able to find solutions and abilities you didn't know you had to overcome your trauma and loneliness, as well as finding strength and hope.

I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a satisfying and productive life, and that it's never too late to start. We all also have the capacity to get "stuck" in unproductive situations or relationships. The key ingredients for a successful outcome in therapy are the individual's, couple's, or family's readiness for change, and the safe, supportive, collaborative relationship we develop. My deepest interest lies in helping clients recognize their own needs, goals, strengths, under-utilized talents, and decision-making capacity. With the clarity they obtain, I can help them take some necessary steps to improve their lives.

We all want to feel whole and achieve meaningful goals in our lives. To do so requires honesty and dedication, especially around the insecurities and defense mechanisms that have become ingrained within our personality. I can help you zoom out to gain more familiarity with your true Self trying to break through the surface of your persona. On one hand, it can be very anxiety provoking to feel that there is more to life than this. But, at the same time, it is an invitation to know, forgive and love yourself unconditionally. An invitation to feel into unknown selves and shadows, to accept You exactly the way you really are.

At the heart of all significant issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss are relationships. Therefore, change must also occur within a relationship and therapy is a unique one which provides the safety, trust and honesty, to foster growth. As your therapist, I am fully present for you, in a way that even the best intentioned friend or family member may not be, because I do not have an agenda, and I am invested in the decisions you make to improve your quality of life.
