Dr. Lisa Kruger, PhD, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and Washington, D.C. and have over 17 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in work with clients who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship and life transition stressors, trauma, chemical use or dependency, and grief/loss. Because each person brings a unique story and perspective, I personalize treatment based on individual needs.
How can therapy help you?
Feeling stuck in the same patterns and unsure how to break free? You’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ve been doing this for so long—how do I even change now?” The idea of change can feel overwhelming, and knowing where to start isn’t always clear.
That’s where therapy comes in. It’s a space to untangle what’s keeping you stuck and help you shift toward a healthier, more fulfilling path. Together, we’ll work to uncover the deeper patterns at play, explore new ways of thinking and coping, and build habits that make life feel more manageable—and even lighter. Since everyone’s journey is different, your therapy experience will be tailored to what works best for you.
