My name is Lisa Burress. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Child Mental Health Specialist, and Registered Play Therapist. I provide in-person counseling services in Bremerton, Washington, as well as telehealth services throughout Washington state.
I have experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families across a wide range of life experiences and challenges. I believe that each person is the expert in their own life and approach therapy from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective. Together, we will identify meaningful goals that feel realistic, supportive, and aligned with your values and needs.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel safe to explore thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life challenges without judgment. I strive to support clients through compassionate listening, practical tools and resources, and thoughtful guidance that empowers informed decision-making and personal growth.
My areas of focus include emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, boundary setting, foster care and adoption, parenting support, neurodivergence, and supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities.
I have completed training in a variety of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Collaborative Problem Solving, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child Parent Relationship Training, AutPlay Therapy, and more.
In addition to therapy services, I share resources and reflections related to intentional living, responsive parenting, meaningful relationships, emotional wellness, and personal growth through my social media platforms. You can find them here:
