Lisa Marie Porter

My communication style

I create a warm, safe, relaxed, and inviting environment. I want you to feel like you can take your time and get comfortable with the session. Your thoughts and feelings are held and respected, no matter what you bring.

My journey to mental healthcare

I fell in love with Psychology and was fascinated by learning how the mind works and how our environments and biology shape what we think, how we behave, and how we see the world. I wanted to help others work through their thoughts and feelings and make sense of what often doesn't make sense.

My goals for you

I listen intently to what you share about problem areas and what you desire to work on or change. From this, I suggest goals based on what was discussed and ask for ways you think you can slowly take steps toward meeting them. Once we're on the same page, we move forward with ease.

Our first session

You can expect me to ask about your background, history with mental health treatment, why you chose to try therapy, and what you hope to get out of it. I'll also share a little about myself, my professional experience, logistics, and how you can contact me.
