About Lisa
Greetings! Thank you for considering working with me. I am known in my community as Dr.Lisa or Dr.G. I came to Canada in 2011 from the United States where I was born. I am Jamaican of African ancestry and first generation African-American. I am a positive and holistic counsellor.
I provide time-limited psychoeducational groups for persons who have dealt with racialized violence in various areas of life (schools, work, community etc). I also provide limited clinical supervision for clinicians servicing racialized clients, not students. A waitlist for the group and supervision is being taken now. Just email me.
I also work with parents contemplating transracial and transcultural adoption especially of Black children.
For organizations, I provide consultation and professional development to organizations dealing with issues around anti-black racism, racism and other systemic isms.
I am a cognitive-behavioural therapist with a sociocultural overlay. My Ph.D. is in clinical psychology and I also have an inactive California Psychologist license.
Please call for free to determine if I would be a good fit for you. I will be also happy to provide other counsellor suggestions for you.
One Love!
