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 individuals achieve deeply connected relationships with those who matter most, whether in romantic partnerships, close friendships, or parent-child dynamics. As humans, we have a fundamental need for connection, and I am honored to support clients in healing and creating the relationships they've always desired.
​
It has been through my own therapeutic experience to heal relational trauma that I have seen how working through difficult childhood wounds, learning to set boundaries, and healing relational trauma triggers have transformed my life and my relationship with others.
Through my own experience with EMDR, I have been able to let go of painful past experiences and shift thoughts about myself from negative and shameful messages to positive and affirming beliefs.
I feel it is an honor to be invited into some of the most vulnerable, scary, and raw moments with my clients. I am proud that you are taking the first step to working through your past to unlock who you are meant to be.
Connect with me today and begin your journey of healing and deeply understanding who you are.
My Approach
In my work, I utilize a psychodynamic and attachment-based lens. This means that I focus on exploring your past and prominent relationships to understand patterns and dynamics that are impacting your day to day life. Understanding your past and attachment with your parents, or primary caregiver, helps me understand how you see and engage with the world.
I also incorporate a client-centered approach, where I come alongside you as a supportive and welcoming presence. I really honor my client's autonomy in sessions - meaning we focus on what YOU want to work on. I make sure I understand what goals you have for therapy, and I view my role as a coach and guide to help you get there.
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 certified in EMDR therapy, an evidence based treatment that addresses physiological responses of trauma and reduces disturbances around difficult past experiences and events.
​
I have specialized training in EMDR, focusing on how trauma impacts attachment relationships. I am equipped to support clients who struggle to connect with their authentic selves, have experienced childhood or relational trauma, experience dissociation, or find it challenging to stay present and manage triggers in their daily lives.
I have attended various advanced trainings in:
