Lisa Lavitt, LCSW-C
Frederick, MD
Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, open, and approachable, and I strive to create a space where couples feel safe bringing their honest experiences to the table. As a couples specialist, I help each partner find their voice, identify their needs, and lean into one another with care. I know committed relationships can be hard and sometimes painful, and I’m here to guide you through those rough patches. My greatest hope is that couples can reclaim their passion, love, and belief in one another, and it’s an honor to be part of that journey.

Lisa was very helpful, listened, and provided great insight for both of us. We combined couples therapy with individual, which done together strengthened our relationship and made both of us feel heard.

I highly recommend Lisa! She was an honest and compassionate guide who helped us gain deeper insight into ourselves and each other. Lisa has a remarkable ability to hold you accountable while encouraging self-reflection without judgment. Through our work with her, we were able to have meaningful conversations, especially about our upbringings and how those experiences have shaped who we are today. This opened up a new level of understanding between us. Our time in Lisa’s office has laid a strong foundation for how we will navigate our future.

Our sessions with Lisa Lavitt were very helpful. She is easy to talk to and was unbiased in her feedback. She listened to both sides and was able to effectively translate our thoughts and feelings in a way that helped us to see each others perspective. She was thorough with her explanations in educating us to better understand how men and women think.
