I served as the Director of Psychotherapy Services and Surgical Care and Coordination at D.I.S.C. Sports and Spine Center in Marina del Rey, California under the guidance of Dr. Robert S. Bray Jr, MD.

I continue to see this population of patients remotely and in person in Marina del Rey. I educate patients (and their families) empowering them to achieve the level of comfort necessary to commit to and proceed with surgery. 

I implement Solution Focused Pain Reduction with an emphasis on Drug-Free options.

 

PAIN REDUCTION THERAPY

•  Alternative drug-free solutions for chronic and intermittent pain

•  Personal healing and wellness

•  Support groups for individuals, partners and families

PERIOPERATIVE SUPPORT

• Perioperative training and assessment

• Well-being counseling and support

• Patient and family group therapy

“Lisa helped me get through what seemed to be the hardest time of my life. She showed me such great understanding of my situation, especially by sharing her personal experiences. Lisa, in many ways, made me feel comfortable to open up to her. I was hopeless and scared before my spinal surgery and Lisa made me feel less alone. She helped guide me through my preoperative and postoperative journey. I really don’t think I would have been able to get through my procedure, as prepared as I was, without her guidance and support. I am so thankful for her!”
