Lisa Talbot:
“I work with individuals seeking treatment for sleep issues, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and stress management. I take a collaborative and holistic approach to help individuals develop lifelong skills to manage challenges, more deeply understand themselves and their relationships with others, and enhance their overall well-being. I draw primarily from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with elements of other frameworks including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.  I also work with parents of and young children with autism spectrum disorder, drawing from the Early Start Denver Model and Pivotal Response Treatment
 

Dr. Talbot’s goals include provision of parent education and coaching (based on these two models) to enable parents to experience therapeutic interactions with their children in daily routines and play. Dr. Talbot also provides parental support (e.g., stress, anxiety, and sleep management).
