Hi, I’m Lisa Vanderpas

Master of Social Work Student Therapist

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, grounded in creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported in meaningful change. I bring a warm, direct, and steady presence to therapy. Drawing from evidence-based modalities including CBT, trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches, I help you identify patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and better understand your nervous system.

I have a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing chronic stress, trauma, and the psychological impact of living with chronic pain. Therapy with me is an opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, and develop practical, sustainable tools that translate into real-life growth. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, regulated, and aligned with the life you want to live.
