  I love reflecting back the radiance of others and helping people become their authentic selves.    It’s what I feel called to do on this Earth. This is how I’ve practiced psychotherapy, raised my children, and collaborated for over 40 years with my husband, a musician.  I consider myself a Dreamer, and I seek to help others realize their dreams.   

It’s been a privilege to practice psychotherapy for over 25 years.  I believe “therapy” is about learning.  I remain passionate about the work I do because I know people can change.  I believe therapy is evolution in action.  

I earned my degrees in Business/Marketing and Clinical Social Work from New York University.  I received Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy training from IPPNJ, and a Certificate in Leadership from The Deeptime Network.  www.dtnetwork.org

My family raised us to help those who come after us.   This is what the psychologist, Erik Erikson, called generativity.  It  means making the world a better place in some way beyond one’s personal achievements.     

  • Deeptime Conversations

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you feel a spark of inspiration? Have an idea that just won’t leave you alone? This is called “an allurement”. There’s energy attached to it. Trust it. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Trust it enough to take the next step. You’re on the right track. If you wish to speak with me further about it, you can contact me at lisaverni@comcast.net.

    “My friend, Lisa, is different. There are those who will give you advice and urge you to try something out. With Lisa, it is the authenticity of her voice that does the speaking. No matter what she talks about, I come away wanting to indulge in my own allurements in a more powerful way.”

    ~Sarbmeet Kanwal, Educator and Deeptime Colleague

    “Lisa is a sacred dancer. Her footprints on Earth, and on lives, are tender, compassionate and inspiring. Lisa is a poet, a writer, a psychotherapist, a midwife of souls, a dear deeptime friend, and may she bless you richly, as she has blest me, out of her beauty, her integrity and her wisdom.”

    ~ Judith Keller, eco contemplative and eco mindfulness practitioner, Southport, Australia

    “My conversations with Lisa have been a Deep Well of inspiration and support in my journey."

    ~Joyce Rouse, composer and creator of Earth Mama® Music.

  • Clinical Case & Practice Consultations

    It is very important to me to share all that I’ve learned through mentorship and case consultation with other psychotherapists. I have extensive experience, including work with trauma, couples, and practice development. If you would like to discuss a case or other professional issue, please contact me at lisaverni@comcast.net

    “Lisa’s nonjudgmental, empowering approach has aided me to truly leverage my strengths, while improving in areas where I felt previously tentative. Her wealth of knowledge has helped me to achieve my financial, clinical, and personal goals. She is a true gem in this field.”

    ~ Alyson Zilai, LPC, Psychotherapist

    “Lisa has really helped me grow as a clinician. Even after the first few consultations, I think all of my clients noticed a difference and I felt like certain blocks I had previously come up against were now pieces I could move around with the right questions.”

    ~ LCSW starting teletherapy practice after 20 years of private practice

    “Working with Lisa has made a huge difference as I work to build my solo therapy practice! Lisa is patient, enthusiastic and so encouraging. She has helped me realize I can have fun and enjoy this journey as well as run a business.”
