About Me
Welcome to My Practice
Welcome. My name is Lisa Parker, and I am a Trauma-Informed Therapist with extensive training and experience in walking with people through their personal life journeys. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of supporting clients as they gain clarity, healing, and freedom. I have witnessed clients grow more connected to themselves, their partners, and the people around them—and it is an honor to be part of that process.
Professional Background
I am a dual-licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, and completed internships in both domestic violence shelters and hospice. Before enrolling in graduate school, I worked in Early Intervention in both Texas and California. I have extensive training in Child and human development across the lifespan, as well as Attachment Theory. My training also includes childhood trauma and abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, neglect), grief and loss, high-demand religion recovery, and personality disorders.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship. My goal is for every client to feel heard, understood, and genuinely seen as we work together. I come alongside clients with warmth, collaboration, and respect, meeting them exactly where they are. I also place a high value on staying current with the empirical data and literature that shape our field. As a therapist who cares deeply about the well-being of my clients, I consider it both a responsibility and a privilege to continually grow in my knowledge and skills so I can offer the most effective, thoughtful care possible.
Specialized Modalities
My approach is personalized for each individual, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities:
Systemic Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Narrative Therapy
Parts Work (Internal Family Systems—IFS, Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment—TIST)
Holistic and Neuroscience-Based Practices that support overall well-being, including mindfulness, bottom-up brain focus, and attention to the mind–body connection (somatic work)
