Lisa O'Keefe, LCSW

Living in our unique and vibrant northcoast community provides many opportunities for connection, and I'm excited to be contributing to the mental health of our population. I offer support to families, partners, and individuals who want to move forward in life with a sense of purpose and authenticity. My methods vary according to the needs of the client(s), but always include elements of validating and uplifting the self, exploring a person’s deepest goals, and discovering ways to move towards those goals. I use research-based methods and strive to be inclusive while helping clients to consider the unique context of their lives and challenges. I take both private pay as well as Medi-Cal and have a few more openings on weekdays between 9 and 1. If your insurance is not Medi-Cal but you still want to see me, I can provide a superbill for reimbursement. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation and after that full sessions are billed.

Integrative (drawing from several different orientations- for me, these include internal family systems, transpersonal, solution-oriented, the Gottman Method, narrative therapy, and mindfulness training)
