The Calming Place
Your Well-Being Is in Good Hands
Welcome, and thank you for visiting The Calming Place! I’m Lisa, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 12 years of experience serving clients in and around Cherry Hill, NJ. It’s become my life’s work to provide compassionate, competent, and effective treatment to my clients in a private practice setting.
I am most passionate about treating adolescents and adults with anxiety disorders, eating disorders, relationship problems and depression. I also have a special interest in the trait of High Sensitivity (HSP).

Individual Therapy
Individual clients seek therapy from The Calming Place to address a plethora of issues, including anxiety disorders and OCD, eating disorders, depression, relationship problems and trauma. Together we'll discuss the presenting problem, identify your goals for treatment, and design a plan to meet those goals at your own pace, using well-researched and evidence-based techniques. We'll also work together to clarify your values. After we identify the things that are most important to you in life, I will introduce specific skills to help you live in alignment with them. Whatever problem(s) you're experiencing, you don't have to handle it alone. Asking for help is a courageous step forward.
Family Therapy
Family relationships are complicated. Sometimes families need a professional and objective voice to help them identify problems in communication and introduce skills to help them cultivate closer bonds and support each other during some of life’s biggest challenges. Together we’ll identify goals you’d like to work toward, and then get to work on meeting the needs of everyone within the family unit. You’ll gain skills that can be used for a multitude of issues to help you communicate more effectively and create more harmony within your home.
