Dr. Jennifer Lish, PHD

I set up an initial consultation with Dr. Lish for my daughter. She did not show up for the Zoom appointment and did not answer my call. She was unwilling to speak with me unless I completed and submitted several forms for an initial evaluation. I noted that I was looking for a consultation rather than an evaluation and that I was trying to find a good fit in terms of personality and time availability before spending hours completing forms. The initial interaction through email felt off and abrupt, so I decided not to proceed.

I strongly suspect these are fake reviews written by Lish herself. BEWARE of this practitioner - highly abrasive, inappropriate, condescending and unprofessional. No idea how this woman has a license in the mental health field.

Dr. Lish has been extremely helpful to me. I have trouble talking to therapists because I have traumatic associations with positive thinking and with a lot of common advice to people who are struggling, but Dr. Lish has been extremely understanding and is adapting the therapy based on what works for me. She is very empathetic, has validated my experience like no other therapist has (I've seen 6 other counselors) and makes me feel empowered, like I can get through this and get better.

Dr. Lish is a real specialist in exposure therapy. She helped my son a lot. I am just sorry it took me so long to find her.

We are really grateful to Dr. Lish. My daughter was so afraid of getting sick that we had a hard time getting her to go to school. Dr. Lish worked with her and with me and my husband. My little girl got her smile back.

One of the best therapists trained to treat OCD with ERP in New England.

Dr. LIsh is highly competent CBT therapist with excellent credentials. I am a supervisor at an International CBT training Center and Look to her for supervision in difficult cases. I would not hesitate to send a family member to her for treatment. The research shows that a high percentage of people who leave a therapist's office without paying, will likely never pay, hence it is standard practice to make sure that the client is clear on our financial policy and their ability to pay.

Dr. Lish is both compassionate and highly professional. She is extremely committed to helping people in need, and is incredible in how she follows up with resources and concern. In addition she is very knowledgeable about CBT and highly respected for her work.

I am a colleague of Dr. Lish and find her to be highly knowledgeable and skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her strengths are in anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and phobic disorders. These respond well to the specific treatments utilized by Dr. Lish. She has pursued advanced training and follows evidence based methods, which means that she practices treatments which have been scientifically tested.

As a professional colleague, I have consulted with Dr. Lish on multiple occasions and have found her to be highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and committed to excellence in clinical work. She has a no-nonsense style which fits well with her specialties in CBT, specific phobias, selective mutism, and school refusal in young children.
