Dr. Lisa Frankel, PHD; MFCC

Lisa Frankel is a therapist in WLA/Santa Monica for over 25 years. She is comfortable working with diverse problems and populations. For many years, she has specialized in working with women in transition. She enjoys working with people facing life/self changes, anxiety, depression and panic, relationship issues, parenting questions, and challenges in daily living. As a writer and creative artist, she enjoys working with clients in creative fields. Her experience as a cancer survivor, multi-cultural adoptive parent & mediator/yoga practitioner enhances her work. She has many years experience with addiction recovery - including eating disorders. I work collaboratively with clients doing insight work, and cognitive behavioral work: examining thoughts, patterns and interactions, creating healthier, more empowering, nurturing alternatives. She is committed to helping clients gain self knowledge and effective life skills, and create more meaningful, juicy lives. She is also 12 step friendly.
