Lyrra Isanberg

pronouns: she/her/hers

I am called to the field of relational therapy by the enduring belief that we all experience problems in life, and those problems are best understood in the context of relationships. When problems begin and exist in relationships, so too do the solutions.

Through a lens of empathy and self-compassion, I can help you find insights and solutions. My practice is both integrative (drawing from several different models, as best fits your needs) and systemic (acknowledging the importance and influence of various systems, relationships, and contexts in your life, big and small). My particular specialties include couples and sex therapy (including sex therapy for individuals), and I have particular expertise, as a biracial Black clinician, in working with both individuals and couples who identify as bi/multiracial.

My experience and training have oriented me towards an understanding that the person is not the problem. It is this understanding that I hope to impart in my work with you. I believe in empowering you to work towards your ideal relationships with yourself, your intimate partners and your loved ones. Together, we will create an environment that is welcoming, safe, and puts you at ease. I will bring humor, genuineness and attentiveness; and with thoughtful collaboration, therapy can be a space that allows for openness, honesty and growth.

I am LGBTQ-affirmative and welcome people of all genders, sexual orientations, relationship configurations, and lifestyles. As a biracial Black clinician, I believe that any practice is incomplete without a firm anti-racist stance. I strive to be culturally sensitive and to honor intersectional realities. I also recognize that this is a work in progress for all of us, and invite dialogue if I err. I have an ongoing commitment to educate myself—and others—in these areas.
