I have worked in a variety of agency settings, including a crisis stabilization unit, a domestic violence shelter, and in a behavioral health program that serves people living with major mental illness in the community and in group living environments.

Lisa has been very helpful during my time of need, and has continued to be a great support system for me even since overcoming the really deep scary parts. I plan to continue working with her for as long as I am able. I believe it is a great relationship to have developed with a counselor.

I look forward to each session with Lisa. She definitely made a huge impact on my life. Lisa has helped me look at different perspectives as well as helping me understanding things I don't quite understand. She is someone I can trust and talk to and I would reccomend her to anyone!

Lisa Holmes is warm, empathetic, and a good listener. She is willing to work with you to pinpoint exactly what you're struggling with, and breaks solutions down into manageable goals. She also seems to put a great deal of time and care outside of sessions into thinking of new strategies to approach problems.
