Lisa Ritter , LMFT

Lisa Ritter is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of professional experience. She specializes in helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, navigate parenting challenges, and pursue executive coaching and professional coaching goals. Her approach centers on recognizing each person as the expert of their own story and building on existing strengths to address the difficulties that brought them to therapy.

Lisa has worked with a wide range of life transitions and relational concerns, including blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, questions of life purpose and midlife crisis, money and financial issues, experiences with narcissism, developing self-love, and workplace difficulties. She supports clients who seek practical skills as well as deeper insight into patterns that affect their relationships and wellbeing.

She acknowledges that taking the first step to begin therapy can require courage and meets newcomers with respect for their readiness to change. Lisa combines clinical experience and coaching sensibilities to help clients set goals, develop coping strategies, and make meaningful progress at their own pace.
