Who Is Dr. Lisa Gold
For nearly three decades, I’ve sat with couples and individuals navigating the hardest moments of their lives — grief, trauma, infidelity, identity, and the quiet existential questions that arrive in midlife. My work blends the rigor of evidence-based psychotherapy with the depth of somatic, transpersonal, and psychedelic medicine.
