Hi and welcome! I’m Dr. Lisa Thoman
I am a licensed psychologist in Dallas, Texas. I offer individual therapy and work collaboratively with folks to empower them to move forward in life in a way that is meaningful and intentional, showing up as who and how they desire to be in areas that are important to them. I specialize in working with women in their mid-40s, 50s and beyond who are struggling with mid-life concerns and folks who are working to heal from past trauma.
I spent a lot of my early life moving from place to place and never really feeling like I fit in anywhere. In trying to get past painful childhood experiences, I developed some negative beliefs about my worth and who and how I thought I had to be and what I needed to do (which just made everything worse).
Therapy played a powerful role for me in leaving behind some of these unworkable strategies and becoming more authentic and accepting of myself. As a result, in therapy, I believe a powerful starting point is creating a safe space where you can feel seen and heard as you are. A part of that process is helping you acknowledge and see your pain and also realizing it is not all of you and it does not define you.
Self-doubt, avoidance and anxiety related to distressing life events and changes can lead to feeling stuck, hopeless, discouraged and low on confidence. We can work together to help you recognize your worth, your own internal wisdom and areas of strength and to make changes that support living a life in the service of your chosen values.

Therapy for women in midlife
Midlife comes with all kinds of challenges, from physical changes related to hormones and aging to developmental and role changes to identity changes to losses and new, sometimes uncomfortable realizations. You may have been feeling lost, stuck, invisible, disconnected from yourself, moody and anxious, tired, discouraged and just negative about yourself in general as a result and worried it’s too late to make a change.
I can work with you to help you acknowledge and work through pain and losses and identify and reconnect with your values, your passions and how you want to spend your time in this next chapter of your life.

Trauma recovery therapy for adults
Daily life can feel like a daily struggle when you are trying to get past a trauma. You may have been telling yourself (or others may have told you) to just get over it but the harder you try to push it away the more it seems to come up. Or you may spend alot of time and energy trying to push it away and end up feeling anxious, exhausted, defeated and alone.
I can help you acknowledge and work through past trauma so that you can integrate it and live your life in the present in a way that is meaningful and not controlled by the past.
