Lia Bresciani, LCSW

  For centuries, human beings have reflected by the side of a fire and contemplated life’s greatest questions. 

In today’s complex world, we face a lot of big questions, and living with courage and intention requires deep reflection and mindful action. I offer therapy for individuals and couples and training and consultation for other mental health professionals. 

Drawing on evidence-based approaches like trauma informed care, polyvagal-informed nervous-system work, and mindfulness —and a deep love for nature and adventure—I guide people toward resilience, authenticity, and meaningful connection both personally and professionally. 

 I am deeply passionate about relational connection, nervous system regulation, and the restorative power of nature. My work is grounded in the belief that growth and healing are possible at every stage of life, and that life’s transitions—whether personal or professional—can create opportunities for reflection, resilience, and renewal.

Over the course of my career as a counselor, behavioral health coach, and therapist, I have supported individuals, families, and professionals through complex challenges and meaningful life transitions. My clinical approach draws on decades of experience and expertise in Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also incorporate polyvagal-informed perspectives and nervous system awareness to support emotional well-being, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring more than 15 years of leadership experience within large, complex behavioral health organizations. Throughout this time, I have led programs, developed teams, and supervised and coached dozens of mental health leaders. I am passionate about cultivating healthy organizational cultures, strengthening leadership capacity, and supporting the people and relationships that make meaningful work possible.
