Lisa Herrick, Ph.D.

I have been in practice since 1988. I have been working in both Falls Church and downtown Washington, DC with a wide variety of clients throughout my career. I often collaborate with colleagues in both locations to provide coordinated services to individuals, couples and families.

I have particular expertise in working with people who are striving to improve their personal relationships, both within their families and with romantic partners. I also work extensively with children, teenagers and adults who are coping with anxiety, depression or grief.

A large part of my practice is devoted to working with families struggling through separation and divorce. I often help parents talk together about how to tell their kids about their decision to separate or divorce. Please take a look at my guide to “Telling the Children About the Divorce”.

I am an experienced Collaborative Divorce Coach and Child Specialist, and have helped over 100 families work toward successful resolution in their Collaborative cases. I am also a Parenting Coordinator, working with divorced parents who are suffering in a high conflict co-parenting relationship and want to increase their cooperation and improve communication.

I co-founded the Collaborative Practice Center of Greater Washington where I can be available to meet clients in the DC metro area.
