Lisa Locke-Downer
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist
I work with clients using a cognitive-behavioral framework to address anxiety, depression, OCD, and other concerns.
I joined ACES in 2014 and enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, body-focused repetitive behaviors, behavioral problems, and social concerns. I use a Cognitive-Behavioral treatment approach, incorporating mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as appropriate. Collaboration with physicians, psychiatrists, and other treatment providers is also welcomed. Dr. Locke-Downer provides in-office and telehealth appointments.
