Hi! My name is Lisa and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist in the state of North Carolina. I am also cross licensed in the state of Nevada, Montana, New Mexico, Vermont, Virginia, Maryland, and Texas. I have been in the Substance Abuse field since 1996 working as an alcohol counselor in an outpatient setting. I received my applied AAS degree in 1996 and went on to receive my BS in Community Health and Human Services with an emphasis on Grief and Gerontology. I have two Masters degrees from Liberty University in Professional Counseling and Criminal Justice.
In our first session together, we will start with introductions and dive into the specific challenges you are facing. I want to learn as much as I can about you to help us tailor a specific treatment plan for us to focus on in our follow up sessions.
Having worked in the substance abuse and mental health field for so many years, I have developed a tried and true play book and resources to use in sessions with individuals who are struggling with these issues, the challenges that they encounter, and the ability to create a plan that leads to measurable progress.
I work best with clients ages 18-99. I am very versed in substance abuse issues, anxiety, depression and panic disorders as well as grief issues. At times people go through various stages through out life and I try to meet people where they are. If I am not a good fit for you, we can discuss next steps and I will help you find the right person for your needs.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is very helpful to have clients change the way they think thus changing behavior. I utilize homework as well to help make the concepts of CBT more applicable.
Christian Counseling
Depending on the clients personal preferences, I am also a biblical counselor.
Motivational Interviewing
This is particularly helpful when working with clients who are struggling with Substance Abuse issues.

I wanted to rate her a 1 so I could have her to myself and more session slots but that would be wrong. She is amazing. I have had a few therapists in the past and none even handled my situation the way she does. She is amazing that is all I can say. Definitely recommend to everyone.
