Liza Kobzik, LCSW, Therapist in Newton, Massachusetts

Liza Kobzik helps individuals build clarity, resilience, and emotional stability through evidence-based mental health care tailored to the needs of children, adolescents, and adults across Massachusetts. She provides a supportive, structured environment where patients can address anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related challenges while developing practical skills that foster long-term well-being. As part of her clinical practice at LifeStance Health, Liza works with a wide range of concerns and life circumstances. She supports children and adolescents experiencing school avoidance, behavioral issues, and identity-related stress, as well as adults navigating grief, mood disorders, and women’s issues. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, problem-solving, and helping patients gain meaningful traction toward their goals. Liza is particularly passionate about working with individuals from LGBTQ+ communities, supporting patients who have experienced trauma, and helping those on the autism spectrum feel understood and empowered. She also enjoys providing care for individuals connected to adoption or foster care, bringing sensitivity to the unique emotional and relational dynamics these experiences can carry. Her therapeutic style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness-based strategies, with additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure Therapy. She offers both individual and group therapy and provides additional interventions as clinically appropriate. Outside of her clinical work, Liza brings creativity and grounded presence to her practice, inspired by her longstanding ties to theatre and performing arts. She also spends time at a local barn, where working with and riding horses offers balance and connection beyond the clinical setting.
