Hi. I’m Lisa Bove, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Christian minister living in Southern California. I have been practicing as an LCSW for 29 years and have been an ordained minister for longer. In my practice I work with people of all religious backgrounds and have been an active participant in many LGBTQI+ religious congregations. I approach therapy from a holistic and client-centered perspective. I love speaking with people, getting to know them, and helping them realize their strengths and work through their challenges. I work with those living with grief, stress, depression, anxiety, chronic/acute health issues and relationship struggles. I have experience working with children as young as five years old and see people through older adulthood. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, based on my client’s strengths and needs. I assess the biological, social/environmental, psychological, and spiritual attributes of the issues for and with my client. Together we combine information from several sources, using the strength of the client-therapist relationship to help my client move forward in their healing and functioning.
