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.
