OUR TEAM OF BELIEVERS

At Believe in the Process Counseling, our staff brings a balance of professionalism and personality that creates a truly welcoming environment. We believe healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time, laughter, warmth, and genuine human connection are part of the process, too. Our team is known for being fun, engaging, and authentic. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, because when life feels overwhelming, sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer is a space where you can breathe, smile, and feel at ease.

In fact, our lighthearted and compassionate atmosphere often leads new clients to assume our office manager, Laree, is a therapist. Her warm, welcoming presence and natural ability to connect leaves callers feeling hopeful, like they’ve finally found the place they’ve been searching for. Allow us to introduce you to the dedicated and dynamic team behind Believe in the Process Counseling.

Profile pic_edited.jpg

Hello, I'm Lisa, founder of Believe in the Process Counseling Services. Like many people, I have experienced trauma and substance misuse. For years, I allowed those experiences to shape how I viewed myself and how I interacted with the people I loved. I struggled with emotional reactions, difficulty trusting others, and the pain of relationships impacted by unresolved wounds. Eventually, I realized I had a choice: continue allowing my past to define my future, or begin the difficult work of healing. I chose healing. Therapy became one of the most life-changing decisions I have ever made. Through the therapeutic process, I discovered that I was more than the trauma I had experienced and more than the labels others had placed on me. I learned to resolve my unrealistic expectations of others and embrace who I truly am. A kind, compassionate, resilient, caring, and authentic. Healing didn't erase my past, but it gave me the tools to move forward with purpose and hope. That journey inspired the creation of Believe in the Process Counseling Services. I know firsthand that healing is not a destination, it is a process. While the journey isn't always easy, it is always worth it. My personal experiences, combined with more than 27 years of clinical experience in mental health, harm reduction and substance misuse treatment, allow me to walk alongside individuals with empathy, understanding, and professional guidance. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, or life transitions, you do not have to face it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can heal, grow, and rediscover your strength. I believe that healing is possible for everyone, because I am living it. Together, let's believe in the process.
