We are growing!

Meet our new therapist, Lisa Adams, MA, LPC, who is starting with Dare To Heal in August, 2025!

“I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in practice for more than a decade. I am skilled with clients facing mental health challenges such as: depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, low self-esteem, trauma-single incident and complex PTSD, life transitions, family of origin/attachment issues, childhood abuse/neglect, addictions/compulsions, communication challenges and stress.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in practice for more than a decade.

I use a variety of methods in our sessions: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help you challenge distorted thinking, and Motivational Interviewing to help you find your inner reasons and willingness for change. I teach my clients to use mindfulness skills for self-awareness and self-soothing. I also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which works with the body and the mind to access and process traumatic memories, relieving distress and bringing healing.

I always wanted to be a therapist but started my career as a kindergarten/first grade teacher. I taught for seven years, stayed home with my kids and then went back to grad school. An internship was required to graduate, so I found myself at a psychiatric hospital working with severely mentally ill and chemically dependent patients. It was gratifying to see people get well through therapy and medication and to get to know them in the groups I led. I graduated, and two days later my younger brother, who had a history of mental health challenges, died by su***de, following a relapse with alcohol. This traumatic experience solidified my desire to help people find hope and healing.

Therapy is a form of self-care. Developing a working relationship with a counselor should be healing and empowering. I encourage clients to practically find ways to better cope with life’s challenges by talking, processing and embracing change. I believe in a collaborative approach to help my clients reach their goals. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion in a warm, non-judgmental, supportive space. I invite you to contact me to discuss your needs and to schedule a time to get started. I look forward to working with you!”

A few changes to the office!

With the Holidays fast approaching, it can be a time of much joy and happiness for many families. Unfortunately, it may also be one of the most difficult times for some of us.

A 2023 Sesame Care survey found that two thirds of Americans felt that their mental health was negatively impacted by the holidays. Many people deal with increased stress, depression, grief over loss, anxiety, or other challenges during these otherwise supposed happy times. Many experience an increase in pressure, uncomfortable family dynamics, painful memories or triggered childhood traumas.

You are not alone!

There is nothing wrong with having these feelings. Maybe you just need some help or someone to talk to.

I am now scheduling sessions for late November, December and January. I would love to talk to you. Request an appointment, or a 15-minute free consultation at www.DaretoHealTherapy.com
