Lisa Terwilliger, LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor
Focus Area: Professional Counseling
Licensed in: Alaska, Washington
In my practice, I utilize a strengths-based approach. I foster a therapeutic environment enriched with humor and empathy, nurturing trust and collaboration with my clients. I specialize in working within the whole human lifecycle, from age six to end of life. In working with individuals and families, we will focus on addressing the “stuck points” in your life that interfere with your connection with others; these can include big “T” and little “t” traumas, parenting, life adjustments, mood disorders, anxiety/panic, and relational stressors.

About Me
Cultivating a strong therapeutic relationship is paramount for me, as it lays the foundation for growth, vulnerability, and change. Together, we’ll set goals, challenge unhealthy thoughts, navigate communication barriers, and equip you with the tools to manage your emotions effectively. While I primarily use EMDR to introduce change, I focus on teaming up with my client using my training in evidence based modalities to address the goals my client is focused on while providing an environment where they feel heard, understood and respected, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic journey.
