Dr. Lisa Gives a Sh*t

Dr. Lisa Levy S.P. (Self-Proclaimed) has been performing psychotherapy on stage, on the street and in her studio/office since 2001, and she’s better than a lot of certified shrinks because psychoanalysis and therapy is not a job for her, it’s an obsession. Dr. Lisa gets to the essence of what makes people tick, attempt to raise their self-awareness a bit, and maybe help solve some issues along the way. She doesn’t screw around either, why waste time since she’s not making money on having people come back?

Conducting interviews as an unlicensed therapist gives Dr. Lisa the license to use her humor to help people reveal themselves. She is great at to getting to the essence of who people are and how they became that person. Dr. Lisa listens to what her guests don’t say as much as what they do say. Many times, she helps people bring consciousness to their own truths, that they themselves may not have thought about before.

As most of her guests are involved in creative endeavors—comedy, music, art—she often mines the creative person’s process and relationship to their work illuminate their emotional lives. These "psychotherapy” sessions range from thoughtful, funny interviews to genuine psychological analysis. Real psychological breakthroughs can happen, as is evidenced in listening to these sessions—many guests have attested to these personal discoveries as well.

Dr. Lisa’s accepting nature, insights, humor, and sincere interest give the guest/patient the freedom to be themselves and go for a fun, yet emotionally in-depth journey. Listeners have an entertaining experience that can bring greater self-awareness to their own lives.
