Lisa Pisha, MS, LMFT

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for taking a look at my profile on Therapy Finder. Before we get started, I'd like to share a few important details about my practice so you can make sure we're the right fit for one another. Please take a few moments to read through the information below before your first appointment. Private-Pay Practice My practice is entirely private pay. Although I am credentialed with BCBS and United Healthcare, I do not assign mental health diagnoses or document medical necessity. Because of this: I do not assign mental health diagnoses solely for insurance reimbursement. I do not bill insurance. I do not submit insurance claims. I do not provide documentation intended for insurance reimbursement. If you were planning to utilize your insurance benefits, I completely understand if you'd prefer to work with one of the wonderful clinicians at Tend Therapy who practices within the insurance model. Please let me know before your appointment, and I'd be happy to help connect you with someone who may be a better fit for your needs. If you'd still like to move forward under my private-pay model, wonderful—I look forward to meeting you. Session Fees 60-minute Individual Session: $225 90-minute Session: $337.50 Additional time is billed at $112.50 per 30 minutes Payment is processed automatically using the credit card (or HSA/FSA card) securely stored on file following each appointment. My Approach My work blends psychotherapy, coaching, and deep relational work to help people create meaningful, lasting change. I believe lasting change begins with awareness. Together, we'll explore the stories, patterns, experiences, and relationships that have shaped your life while discovering more intentional ways of living, loving, and relating to yourself and to those around you. Many of my clients are thoughtful, growth-oriented individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, heal longstanding patterns, and create lives that feel more authentic and aligned. Scheduling You can schedule, cancel, or reschedule appointments anytime through my online portal: https://lisa-pisha.clientsecure.me Rather than holding permanent weekly appointment times, we schedule based on your needs and my availability. Many clients choose to schedule several appointments in advance, while others schedule as they go. Frequently Asked Questions Do you offer virtual appointments? Yes! I offer both virtual and in-person appointments at Tend Therapy Space in downtown Naperville. Most appointments can easily be converted from one format to the other. Can we work together if I live outside Illinois? I provide psychotherapy to Illinois residents. Coaching services are available regardless of where you live. Can I schedule multiple appointments? Absolutely. You're welcome to schedule one appointment or several at a time. While You Wait... If you'd like to begin exploring before our first session together, here are a few resources I've created and curated over the years. Before You Burn the House Down My Substack is a collection of essays and reflections on relationships, self-awareness, grief, healing, vulnerability, and living more consciously. If you're someone who enjoys thoughtful writing and self-reflection, I hope you'll find something meaningful there. Create a Conscious Marriage™ I'm currently revising my self-paced relationship course designed to help individuals and couples deepen their understanding of themselves and one another through engaging exercises, reflections, and conversations. Books I Love I've curated a collection of many of my favorite books on relationships, personal growth, self-awareness, attachment, healing, and conscious living. (Just a heads-up—I do earn a small commission from Amazon, but I only recommend books that have profoundly impacted me and many of my clients.) Instagram You can also find occasional reflections and updates on Instagram: @bylisabzdon Thank you again for reaching out. Choosing someone to walk alongside you in this work is an important decision, and I'm honored you're considering me.
