I have over 10 years of experience helping people navigate the challenges and complexities of being human in an often overwhelming world. My practice offers a space to slow down, reflect, and explore your thoughts and feelings with curiosity and without judgment. I'm particularly interested in how our personal histories shape the ways we understand ourselves, relate to others, and respond to life's difficulties, often in ways we may not fully recognize. My approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that greater self-understanding can open up new possibilities for growth, creativity, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my hope is to help you suffer less, develop greater trust in yourself, and live with more freedom and intention.
Hello, My name is Lisa Monteiro. I am a counselor to people in their teenage through older adult years. I became a NYS licensed therapist in 2007. My experience includes treating people who are struggling with attention and impulse issues, social problems, intrusive thoughts, feelings and situations, sexual assault/domestic violence and other abuse/traumas, anxieties, depressions, eating issues, serious medical conditions, work-life balance/issues and wellness deficits.
I am a double board-certified psychiatrist in adult and child/adolescent psychiatry, providing expert care to patients ages 6 to 80 through secure virtual appointments in the state of New York. I bring 25 years of clinical experience to psychiatric evaluations and medication management. My work experiences include private practice, academic medicine, community psychiatry, residential treatment facilities, intensive outpatients.
I earned an MD from Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany, and completed psychiatry residency and child psychiatry fellowship training at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with formal training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and a background in crisis stabilization — which means I've worked with adults navigating some of the most intense emotional experiences imaginable, and I know that the hardest moments don't define where someone ends up. My style is direct and warm. I'm not the kind of therapist who nods a lot and says "how does that make you feel?" — I'll actually teach you skills, explain what's happening in your brain and body,
and work with you to figure out what gets in the way of the life you want. I also happen to believe that therapy doesn't have to be heavy all the time. Humor and humanity belong in the room too. I work with adults across New York via telehealth, and I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, and Highmark plans.
