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:
