Six years ago DeLisa shifted her focus from education to mental health issues. She began working at non-profit mental health agencies with children, families, and severally mentally ill adults.

She uses a variety of techniques to tailor a therapeutic program to meet each client’s unique mental health needs. She specializes in providing therapy for children with special needs and their families who are facing challenges with such issues as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder, disruptive behaviors, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Separation Anxiety, gender issues, school phobias, anxiety, and depression. She is a responsive, flexible, compassionate, and culturally sensitive therapist dedicated to providing exceptional care and devising creative treatment plans for children, adolescents, families, individuals, and couples. DeLisa facilitates this by helping clients to access their own innate skills to change their life for the better and regain hope, confidence, and joy.
