I specialize working with LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent clients and immigrants/children of immigrants, and have extensive experience working with ADHD, autism, social anxiety, depression, OCD, and family trauma or racial trauma. Through a multicultural, humanistic approach, I aim to empower and advocate for my clients so that they can empower and advocate for themselves.

I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and self-esteem issues.

Together, we’ll explore how to prioritize your needs, reconnect with what matters, and create a sense of safety and grounding. My goal is to help you rediscover balance, self-compassion, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Lisa Cavallerano

At Resilience Lab I work with a diverse group of clients who are seeking support handling trauma, conflict, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. The therapeutic process will help you understand yourself more deeply, and to accept your unique experiences in a non-judgmental, caring way. I will work alongside you to recognize patterns of your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. We will then work to challenge negative patterns and create new healthy ones.

At Resilience Lab I support members of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities with their mental health- especially if they're intersectional humans learning how to navigate life’s complexities (QTBIPOC - Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). I also enjoy working with any and all people struggling with body image issues, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or trauma. My goal is to build awareness of your emotions and sensations so you can understand yourself and your limitations.

Clients who find me tend to be seeking a place to unpack current difficulties, identify problem areas and explore previous emotional injuries. Clients tend to stay to gain understanding, develop self awareness and take control where they feel disempowered. I work with clients of different gender identities, relationship structures, sexualities, economic and occupational backgrounds.

Robyn Chao Phan

Many of my clients approach therapy because they have the experience of "getting by" up until a certain point. Maybe there has been a recent life transition that has led you to seek extra support. Maybe you've been able to do relatively well in life, but you've always felt different and as though there is more to unpack. Exploring current and previous patterns can help shed light on your experiences and guide you on where you want to go.
