Lisa Dorval, MSW, LICSW, Qualified MBSR Instructor, CSME Lisa is a licensed independent clinical social worker with her master’s degree from Boston University. Since 1989, she has devoted her clinical work to empowering children and adults to cultivate positive self-worth and create fulfilling lives. Like many members of the so-called “sandwich generation,” Lisa found herself overwhelmed caring for her three children as well as her aging parents. During this period she explored the benefits of mindfulness which inspired her to combine her clinical training with mindfulness practices to help people achieve greater balance and serenity in their lives. She went on to earn the Qualified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Instructor designation from the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and is a Stress Mastery Educator through the American Institute of Stress.
