Telehealth
Dr. Lindsey Berisha is a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping clients navigate complex health, relationship, and emotional challenges. Providing highly specialized, evidence-based care via telehealth, Dr. Berisha creates a warm, collaborative, and deeply validating space. She empowers her clients to break free from unhelpful patterns, manage chronic stress, and build a fulfilling life aligned with their core values.
Behavioral Weight Management & GLP-1 Support
Navigating weight management requires profound, judgment-free psychological support. Dr. Berisha is an expert in behavioral weight loss, helping clients pursue sustainable health goals without the shame and rigidity of traditional diet culture. For clients considering or actively taking GLP-1 medications, or undergoing bariatric surgery, she provides the essential psychological “guardrails” to ensure the process remains mentally and physically healthy. She also brings targeted expertise to the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder (BED), helping clients untangle emotional eating patterns and rebuild a peaceful relationship with food.
Health Psychology & Behavioral Medicine
Living with a chronic medical condition can take a profound toll on your mental and emotional well-being. Dr. Berisha helps clients expertly manage the intersection of the mind and body. She provides robust coping strategies and support for individuals navigating chronic pain, chronic illness, and complex medical diagnoses. Additionally, she utilizes the gold-standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help clients break the cycle of sleeplessness and naturally restore healthy sleep architecture.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
When dealing with OCD, intrusive thoughts and the exhaustion of the “what-ifs” can feel entirely overwhelming. Dr. Berisha provides highly specialized, effective treatment utilizing both the gold-standard Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and cutting-edge Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT). She expertly tailors her approach to best fit your needs—whether that means carefully pacing exposures to help you build tolerance to anxiety and resist compulsions (ERP), or helping you recognize when you are getting pulled into an imaginary “doubt bubble” so you can trust your real senses over the terrifying stories OCD tells you (I-CBT).
Couples Therapy & Relationship Dynamics
In addition to her individual clinical work, Dr. Berisha is a highly skilled and compassionate couples therapist. Chronic health conditions, mental health struggles, and life transitions can put immense strain on a relationship. She provides a safe, structured environment to help partners navigate communication breakdowns, heal emotional disconnects, and deepen their understanding of one another, fostering a more secure and fulfilling partnership.
