Lisa Lombard, Ph.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Treatment with Dr. Lombard weaves together several complimentary threads. She blends a fundamental psychodynamic understanding of human development, identity formation, and relationship styles with techniques from behavioral health and coping skills, clinical hypnosis, cognitive behavioral models, and play therapy.

About

Dr. Lombard offers individual, family, and group psychotherapy to help those who face depression, anxiety, loss, relationship challenges, and the stress of habit and health problems.

Dr. Lombard conducts psychological evaluations of children and adolescents ranging from about 3 to 21 years of age. She assesses cognitive ability and IQ, school readiness, learning differences and/or disabilities, behavioral problems in the school setting, RTI effectiveness, and giftedness (often among the twice exceptional or those with a co-occurring learning disability). She also conducts neuropsychological screenings of memory, attention, and executive functioning.

In addition to her private practice, Dr. Lombard is a psychological consultant to the Frances Xavier Warde School in Chicago, IL, where she works with preschool and elementary-age students (as well as teachers and parents). Previously, she was an Associate Professor in the Child and Adolescent Track of the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and Research Mentor to graduate students. She conducted a study of emotional regulation and resiliency in preschoolers, and explored executive functioning in children with cognitive processing concerns. Immediately before returning to Chicago in 2006, she maintained her private practice in Virginia and was Coordinator of The Cognitive Assessment Clinic at George Mason University (Fairfax, VA).
