About Lisa Spears

HI! My name is Lisa. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I have been working in this field for over 18 years. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families through various life challenges. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with painful life experiences such as divorce, grief and loss, as well as depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges.

Because every person is unique, my therapeutic style is based on identifying individuals needs and concerns and building on the therapeutic relationship to create a safe and trusting space for clients to begin working through life’s difficulties. I am skilled in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, TF-CBT, CTR, Person-centered and Solution Focused , along with many other treatment modalities.

Whatever brings you to this place, I hope you find the courage to keep going. Even if you are afraid, do it anyway. It will be worth it!
