Your journeyÂ
begins with
one step.Â
Welcome - I’m glad you’re here.
As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that healing happens through connection. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, family dynamics or are working towards personal growth this is a safe space where together we can work towards building stronger and better connections within your life.
I view emotional well-being and mental help as deeply interconnected. I work with individuals, couples and families navigating a range of life challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, or schizophrenia disease and other mental health concerns. My approach is rooted in research and real world therapy practices that have been shown to work.

Lesa Pascali, MA
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
With 23 years in law-enforcement and 21 years as a psychotherapist, I bring a wealth of experience working with diverse populations and a wide range of life challenges. I am an upfront and engaging therapist….. so not much can surprise me.
​
I am a Relational Life Couples Therapist and have been certified by Terry Real’s Relational Life Institute. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and relational life therapy among others. Changing your thoughts in order to change the behavior as well as using tools such as meditation and self-care activities can help an individual cultivate a greater sense of self-worth and help gain a positive outlook on their life. I find assigning tasks for some clients can create motivation.
​
​I provide services to different populations as a Peer Advisor for NAMI-Santa Clara County Community Peer Program. I consult with the Program Manager and offer guidance for persons who have recovered from mental health challenges and are able to help others who are still suffering from distress and hardships.
Who I Help
I specialize in various areas of treatment. I treat adults, adolescents and seniors. Diagnosis of mental illness, PTSD, trauma and general therapy are among my services. For a complete list of services, click here.
How I Do It
Help and healing begins through conversation. In your Free Initial Consultation, we can discuss your issues and determine the best actions and therapies based on desired outcomes.
What's in It for You
You are not alone. It is always my goal that clients experience happy and fulfilling lives and that they have the knowledge and skills to function in their everyday life. What's in it for you? A happier and balanced life with the skillset to cope with life's challenges.
