Dr. Lisa Watson changed my life is an understatement! I had the great opportunity to work with her, as my therapist, for over two years! Through my time with Dr. Watson, she has helped me develop techniques to deal with anxiety, rumination, depression, build my self-worth, and help me set a path to build the life that I want to create. She is someone incredible to work with as she puts in a lot of time and effort to help you towards your treatment goals. She does that by being an active listener as she remembers many the little things, including little facts about my life from our very first session, and comes prepared always! She has great resources to provide techniques and exercises that will help you towards your goals. And most importantly for me, Dr. Watson didn't sugarcoat things as she was authentic to me throughout our entire time of work. There are no amount of words that can describe how grateful and appreciative I have been able to be partnered with Dr. Watson and how much she has helped me accomplish my treatment goals and changed my life! I highly recommend choosing her to help with your treatment goals!

I've had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Watson over the past few years. Dr. Watson shows true care and compassion, while also challenging you to grow and develop skills for effective coping, communication, and resilience. In working with Dr. Watson, I've developed skills and strategies to manage stress and anxiety, in addition to tools for self-advocacy and confidence. I've appreciated Dr. Watson's integrative approach, as she incorporates both traditional therapy approaches and mindfulness into her practice, explaining the benefits and science behind her approaches at every step. I would recommend Dr. Watson without hesitation!

I have been seeing Dr. Watson for the past six months, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first session, I felt heard and understood. Dr. Watson creates a warm, non-judgmental space where I feel safe to share my thoughts and feelings. She has a unique ability to ask the right questions and offer insights that have truly helped me understand myself better.

Dr. Watson's expertise in cognitive-behavioral therapy has been invaluable in my journey towards mental wellness. She provides practical tools and techniques that have made a significant difference in my daily life. I have noticed a remarkable improvement in my mental health and overall well-being since starting therapy with Dr. Watson.

Her professionalism, empathy, and dedication are truly exceptional. If you are looking for a compassionate and skilled psychologist, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Watson.

My first therapist and one of the best therapists I e ever had was Lisa Watson! Literally if you’re looking for someone who is very professional, adds a personal touch, and still encourages you to go further than your comfort zone she’s the one! She literally touched every area of importance that I needed to work on and left a great impact on me despite the fact that I was unable to keep her due to my job being the only place that offered her services through a partnership! I went to her two to three years ago yet I STILL use techniques she’s taught me and worksheets she’s given me!!

I was in therapy with Dr. Watson for a little while, I am beyond grateful for all the help, for her comprehension during my difficult times. Being pregnant and with anxiety is hard to navigate and she gave me all the tools I needed to overcome it all. While I'm no longer under her care due to circumstances not under our control I wish I could find someone like her just to keep in touch every now and then or be able to have her as my therapist in the future. I loved her approach, she is gentle mannered, she never made me feel judge or uncomfortable. Love you Lisa 🩷 me and baby girl are grateful for you. God bless you always

I worked with Dr. Watson providing therapy to Veterans with a history of suicidal behaviors. She was a great asset to our team due to her patience, empathy, and specialty knowledge in areas like whole health and crisis management. She always demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile for her patients so they received the care they deserved. Consulting with her provided me clarity and improved my confidence in working with my own patients. I believe that she helped me grow as a clinician and I’m happy to have had the chance to work alongside her. I know from experience that Dr. Watson will provide meaningful and competent care to any patient that she works with.

I was a client of Dr. Watson for over a year and a half. When we started, I felt crippled by postpartum anxiety and depression. She helped me create tangible goals to have moments of joy in my life and meaning outside of being a stay at home wife. The most important part of our time together was her "track your thoughts" log. It helped me identify the thoughts I was dwelling on that were creating anxiety and negativity. Dr. Watson is the only therapist I have ever connected with on a personal level and at times felt like one of my friends. I have had 2 other experiences with other therapists which were very negative and my experience with her redeemed therapy for me. Thank you Dr. Watson!

Dr. Watson led an amazing mindfulness session for my women’s group. She guided us through an activity to bring awareness to our current state. In addition, she seems well informed about the various practices of mindfulness and was able to offer us a bit of education around the topic in addition to the activities. I highly recommend her and her practice!
