Lia Anisgard, MFT

Hi, 

Thank you for visiting my web page. I have been a licensed therapist since 1982. I bring honesty, compassion and professionalism, along with 25+ years professional experience to my practice. I work mostly with adults dealing with life transitions, depression, and relationship issues. I have a particular interest in working with couples. My goal is to empower my clients to develop healthy, satisfying lives and relationships and a deep belief in their self worth. It is my sincere conviction that each of us can make a positive contribution to our society and our world by developing healthy relationships with ourselves and others. In 2008 I moved my practice from San Jose, CA to the Central Coast area of CA. Feel free to contact me to ask me any questions about my work.

Relationship Tip

Partings and Reunions:  These are key times of the day when it is especially important to make sure you have a few moments of conscious connection with your partner. Generally there are 4 of these during a given day; when you wake up, go to sleep, leave for the day and return home. Work together to come up with some creative ways to make the connection you have at these times more meaningful and intentional. Avoid the routine "peck on the cheek." A good relationship  is like a garden. It needs regular attention even on days when you are tired or grumpy or mad at your partner, in order to grow into something productive and beautiful. So take the time to nurture your relationship garden in small ways every day.
