Meet Lisa Stoll
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Hello, I am Lisa Stoll.
​
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Owner of Grow Today Therapy. I am originally from Southern California, but currently reside in Northern Nevada with my husband.
After 8 years, I still wake up each day knowing being a therapist is what I am meant to do.
I am most passionate about helping clients heal from emotionally unavailable or neglectful childhoods so they can create the secure love they’ve always longed for—whether in romantic partnerships, close friendships, or parent-child relationships. As humans, we are wired for connection, and I feel truly honored to support clients in healing and building the kinds of relationships that feel safe, fulfilling, and real.
​
Through my own therapeutic journey, I’ve healed the parts of me that once felt “too much” or not enough in relationships. By getting to know my younger parts, learning to express my needs with compassion, and building an emotionally focused relationship in my own life, I’ve come to better understand my nervous system—and myself—on a deeper level than ever before.
It’s a privilege to be invited into the vulnerable, raw, and brave work my clients do. I’m proud of you for taking the first step toward healing the past and stepping more fully into who you’re meant to be.
​
Connect with me today to begin your journey toward healing and deep self-understanding.
My Approach
In our work together, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered. I use evidence-based approaches rooted in attachment theory and psychodynamic principles, helping us explore how your early relationships and life experiences shape the way you relate to yourself and others today. Understanding these patterns can provide powerful insight and open the door to meaningful, lasting change.
At the heart of my approach is empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for your autonomy. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative—so we focus on what matters most to you. Whether you're navigating anxious attachment, relationship struggles, or learning to care for your nervous system, my role is to walk alongside you as a guide and partner. Together, we’ll work toward the healing, clarity, and connection you’re seeking.
My Credentials
Throughout my education journey, it was my passion in child development that led me to obtain my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and join the field of mental health.
Once I understood how large of an impact a child's form of attachment and environment influences the mental health of adults, I felt the call to action. I made it my mission to guide individuals to heal from past challenges and understand how their attachment style, developed by their parents or primary caregiver, impacts their most vital relationships today.
Advanced Trainings
I am a certified EMDR therapist. Certification in this evidence-based approach allows me to support clients in reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. EMDR is especially effective in addressing the physiological responses of trauma, allowing clients to feel more grounded, present, and in control of their emotional world.
​
In addition to my certification, I’ve pursued specialized EMDR training focused on how trauma impacts attachment and relational dynamics. I’m equipped to support clients who struggle to connect with their authentic selves, have experienced childhood or relational trauma, live with dissociation, or find it difficult to manage emotional triggers in everyday life.
​
I’m also currently working towards certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based model designed to help individuals and couples build secure, emotionally connected relationships. This approach complements my work with attachment and trauma, deepening the ways I support clients in healing relational wounds.
​
I remain committed to offering the highest quality of care by continuing to invest in advanced trainings and consultations with experienced clinicians. These additional trainings include:
​
EMDR with Children
EMDR with Anxiety & Panic Disorders
EMDR & Dissociation
Internal Family Systems & Parts Work
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy
Attachment Trauma
Adoption and Permanency Population
​
My goal is to bring both clinical excellence and deep compassion into every session.
