About me

Hi, my name is Lisa Perkins, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in helping people overcome and manage the challenges in their lives. I empower people to see and reach beyond their circumstances. Who you are, where you are and what you are experiencing today does not have to be your tomorrow. Can you imagine becoming who you are meant to be? I can, "Piece by Peace."

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session you can expect to "exhale" in a safe, nurturing, and affirming environment. You will be heard, respected and receive unconditional positive regard with a therapist who is genuine, authentic, trustworthy and reliable.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength and what makes me unique is my authenticity! I go hard for my clients because I love people and want the best for them. I want to see you WIN. If I can do you it, so can you. We are more alike than different.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best position to serve individuals who are tired of performing and want to transform the lives. Individuals who feel stuck, invisible, and uncertain. Individuals who want to live boldy from their true self, grounded in purpose, guided by confidence, and uplifted by self-worth. Individuals that want to live authentically and aligned with who they are meant to be.

This was my first time trying therapy, and I was honestly worried about finding the right therapist. But working with Lisa has been an amazing experience. She is direct, authentic, and creates a space where I feel both challenged and supported. I really appreciate how she encourages me to look deeply into my emotions and face reality, even when it's uncomfortable. It’s making a real difference. I actually look forward coming to therapy and I’m so glad I made the decision to start this journey.
