Lisa Dorfman, LMHC

Lisa Dorfman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 38 years of clinical experience who combines mental health and nutrition perspectives to help people perform and feel better in their personal and professional lives. She holds the LMHC credential - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and practices in Florida while working with clients regionally and internationally. Her work focuses on helping professional and everyday 'life' athletes optimize performance across sports, career, relationships, and general well being by addressing stress, anxiety, trauma, eating and body image concerns, and the life transitions that can undermine confidence and motivation.

Her approach is holistic and integrative, drawing on evidence-informed methods such as EMDR to process traumatic memories, cognitive behavioral therapy to reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, dialectical behavior therapy to build coping and emotion regulation skills, and mindfulness and breath work to restore equilibrium. She also incorporates nutrition therapy and complementary practices like Reiki when appropriate to support energy, recovery, and overall health. Lisa emphasizes practical tools to counter overtraining, fatigue, grief, and shame while fostering self esteem, resilience, and renewed purpose.

Taking the first step toward change can feel challenging, and Lisa aims to support and empower each person to draw on existing strengths, overcome obstacles, and move toward their personal best at whatever stage of life they are in.
