Lisa Thyer
Lic Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, MA, LPCA, NCC
As a
cancer
survivor, I understand the challenges and feelings of fear and anxiety that begin the moment you are diagnosed.
Perhaps you have hit a rough patch in your life, your health, your career, or your relationship and you see no way forward. Maybe you just want to be happy, less stressed, or break out of your comfort zone and explore your potential. I understand that it can be hard to find your way in difficult times. Everyday I help my clients face these challenges and live their best life. I can help you too. Welcome. I am happy you are here.

As a psychologist, I work collaboratively with individuals ages 18+ to help them explore what has led to current life difficulties and to work toward the changes they desire. I am a generalist in that I work with many different presenting issues from relationship difficulties to anxiety and depression. However, I have developed particular interest in working with trauma, adult survivors of childhood abuse,
cancer
issues, spiritual concerns, and with people with intuitive and empathic gifts. I take an integrative approach to my work drawing heavily on interpersonal, psychodynamic and mindfulness -based cognitive therapy models.

I hold a doctorate in clinical health psychology and have an interest in working with people with medical concerns including chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and
cancer
.
Sapphire Health Psychology is for people who are experiencing chronic pain (including medically unexplained pain), serious illness, or weight management challenges who have exhausted traditional avenues for healing with little or no success. We explore these challenges from an angle that challenges the status quo. We see symptoms as signals for change, recognize patterns that are hindering healing, and believe that healing is possible.

Everyone has a story. . . of joy and sorrow, love and sadness, wounds and healing. Everyone's story is sacred and waiting to be discovered. But often we struggle to read our story because of depression, anxiety, past pains, or relational difficulties. My vision is to enable people to experience God's powerful grace in order to live in true freedom, transformation and discovery. I provide a pathway for people struggling on the journey to find hope for their broken hearts, healing for their wounds, and a hiding place to wrestle with the grace of God.

We can all agree that life is unpredictable. Change is guaranteed but we can still live life on our terms with the right tools. In many cases we are not prepared for the changes that we face yet; we experience them consistently. With over 10 years of experience helping individuals get back to a life of fulfillment, purpose and meaning, I help those who are looking to escape negative thought patterns, loss of hope, and low mood by learning practical tools and strategies to address identified problem areas.

Nature's Way Holistic Counseling offers clinical mental health counseling with the addition of a health and wellness framework that connects the body, mind, and spirit. We believe in the term "holistic" counseling because our minds are not independent of all other aspects of life, but is dependent upon the complex, interconnected factors of life, including the food we eat, the environment in which we live, and the content we consume. Although some counseling services address these topics on some level, there is a gap in the field of practitioners offering such a comprehensive evaluation.

Welcome. The therapeutic journey is often a hard one to begin, but once started can be the most rewarding in life. It is one I have practiced both personally and professionally for over 30 years. I provide telehealth individual, couples and family therapy to a wide and varied demographic in an open and affirming approach. My practice is meant to be safe and accessible. Our recent world pandemic prompted many changes - a primary one was the ease and acceptability of connecting virtually. As a result my private practice is now entirely virtual, and I see clients on a secure, confidential platform with flexible hours.

Most have been taught to monitor behavior, but few have mastered monitoring their heart. I am passionate about helping clients gain understanding and instill hope for change. By starting where the client is at, I aim to facilitate change as it relates to the mind, body, & soul. Creating a safe environment for a strong therapeutic alliance, each client is treated wholistically to discover one's true potential for conflict resolution. Building on individual client's strengths, the C.O.R.E. issue to the presenting problem is revealed.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
