About me
Hello! I’m Lisa S. Fertel, LCSW
There comes a time when we need professional guidance from a mental health provider to help cope with many of life’s challenges. I am a licensed psychotherapist in the South Florida area. Since opening the doors of my practice in 1993, I have provided patients in Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach counties with a wide range of psychological services. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through obstacles you may be challenged with. My goal is to educate and empower you to understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change. Mindease is key!
A Bit About Therapy
Personalized Attention To Meet Your Needs
I implement effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to instill self understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
