Karasick Psychology

Welcome to my practice! My name is Lisa Karasick, and I am a psychologist with years of experience helping clients like you cope with life's challenges. 

If you are struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or chronic pain, you've come to the right place. I specialize in evidence-based practices tailored to the individual, for both adults and adolescents.  My approach is always client-centered.

Adolescents are facing unique challenges during these times of increased stress and isolation. If you are a parent concerned about your teen's mental health, I am here to help with issues such as anxiety, depression, bullying, suicidal ideation, and self-harm.

Whether you prefer video or telephone sessions, I am here to help you feel supported and empowered in your journey towards better mental health. My clients often report that they come to prefer telehealth, as it offers a level of convenience and comfort that can be hard to find in traditional therapy settings.

What is evidence based practice?
Evidence-based psychology refers to treatments, interventions, or therapies that have been supported by scientific evidence gathered through empirical research. In other words, it involves using research to inform clinical decision-making and to apply effective interventions to enhance the well-being and mental health of clients. Evidence-based therapies have been shown to be reliable, valid, and effective through randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and other research studies. Clinicians who use evidence-based psychology base their practices on rigorous research and are committed to pursuing best practices that offer the highest probability of positive outcomes for their clients.
Why does evidence based practice matter?
Evidence-based practice matters because it is the process of using the most current and reliable scientific evidence to make decisions about patient care. This approach ensures that healthcare professionals are providing the best possible care to their patients, based on the latest available research findings. It also helps to identify ineffective treatments or approaches to care, as well as to promote the use of effective treatments and interventions that have been demonstrated to produce positive outcomes. Additionally, evidence-based practice promotes a culture of continuous learning and improvement in healthcare, which ultimately translates into better patient outcomes and improved quality of care.
