Lisa Kothari, MA, LMHCA

Lisa Kothari Counseling is a mental health practice that aims to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. As a licensed mental health counselor, I, Lisa Kothari, offer a range of therapeutic services to individuals and couples seeking healing and growth. My approach is informed by a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic framework, which emphasizes the importance of early attachment patterns and bodily experiences in shaping our inner lives.
