Lisa Inoue, LMSW For Lisa, the therapeutic relationship forms the crux of her treatment philosophy, whether it is the treatment relationship she has with an adult, teenaged or child client, the relationship that is nurtured between a parent and their child or the internal relationship between the client and themselves. Lisa hopes to always bring an attitude of gentle, compassionate presence to these relationships as such awareness is useful in regulating emotions that can get in the way of being curious about symptoms and behaviors that are hurtful or maladaptive.

 Within this framework, Lisa weaves in a variety of treatment interventions including, but not limited to: attachment-focused/affect-focused work, mindfulness, EMDR and ego-state work.
