Lisa Mullens is a warm, engaged, and deeply caring therapist who brings a grounded, human presence into the therapy room. With over 17 years of experience as an elementary educator before becoming a clinician, she naturally sees the bigger picture of a person’s life, not just the moment they’re struggling in. She understands that behavior, emotions, and reactions rarely exist in isolation and are often shaped by unmet needs, past experiences, and environments that didn’t always feel safe or supportive.

Lisa works with children ages 8 and up, teens, young adults, and adults, with a particular heart for women, parents, and those navigating the emotional complexity of family life. Her approach is honest and warm, with a playful sense of humor when appropriate. Clients often describe her as personable, easy to talk to, and deeply attentive; someone who creates a space where it feels safe to show up as you are.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, adjusting to a new life stage, struggling with self-doubt, or simply longing to feel heard, Lisa meets you with patience, curiosity, and respect. She believes healing doesn’t come from judgment or pressure, but from being truly seen and supported as you find your own footing.

Lisa’s own life experiences including growing up in a large family shaped by generational trauma have deeply informed how she shows up as a helper. From an early age, she learned to look beneath the surface and to approach others with compassion rather than assumption. This perspective continues to guide her work today, allowing her to honor both the resilience people carry and the challenges they’re working through.

A quote that resonates deeply with Lisa’s view of healing comes from Noah Kahan:
“Don’t let this darkness fool you. All lights turned off can be turned on.”

She sees therapy as a place where both hardship and hope are held together. Much like the songs Here Comes the Sun and I’ll Call Your Mom, her work is about offering warmth, reassurance, and steady presence, especially in moments when things feel heavy.

Outside the therapy room, Lisa is a devoted dog mom to three beloved beagles Lulu Jo, Jack Thomas, and Harrison George and finds grounding in the quiet rhythm of hand-knitting blankets for her family. 

She believes therapy should feel welcoming, human, and accessible, especially for first-time clients who aren’t sure where to begin. Lisa’s hope is simple: that when clients leave a session, they feel heard.
