Lisa Bolden

Hi! I’m Dr. Lisa Bolden, PsyD. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, consultant, trainer and author specializing in multicultural mental health consultation and training. I focus on intersectionality, culturally tailored interventions, and providing ongoing professional development to help clinicians enhance their cultural competencies. I provide accessible and personalized mental consultation and training in-person or online. I co-authored Integrating Diversity into DBT: Dialectical Priniciples and Clinical Applications. Guidance is provided for understanding and assessing clients' intersecting identities, tailoring the Diary Card and other interventions to overcome sociocultural gaps, and applying diversity concepts both in individual sessions and with the DBT team. The book also invites clinicians to self-reflect on how their own worldview and assumptions affect their DBT delivery.

My second book: Stand Up, Speak Up and Heal:Overcome Race-Based Traumatic Stress, Self-Advocate, and Stay Grounded. a groundbreaking mental health guide co-authored by three licensed BIPOC clinicians: E. Sofia Mendoza, LCSW, Dr. Lisa Bolden, PsyD, and Dr. Lizbeth Gaona, PhD, LCSW. It provides practical, culturally rooted tools using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help readers manage and recover from race-based traumatic stress.
