We all need to be heard. We all need someone who can sit with us and truly hear our story. I believe therapy is a collaborative process in which we work together to address the challenges and changes you may be facing. For 26 years, I have been working with people just like you--people who need someone to listen, support and engage. People who need a dedicated time and safe place to step out of the chaos of life and sort through their stress and struggles. People who are seeking self-awareness and supportive feedback.

You know how often we lose our way in life, like ships blown off course, no longer heading exactly where we want to go now? If you are looking for more out of life, more from yourself, I can help.

As an empathetic therapist, I help you navigate the intricacies of human emotions with a compassionate touch, tailoring my therapeutic approach to meet the ever-changing needs of each individual and couple.

An ideal client for me would be someone interested in exploring the past to understand better how it affects them in the current. Someone who wants to gain a better appreciation of themselves and live their life true to themselves. I tend to work best with clients who are motivated to explore themselves. I encourage clients to experience emotions in session and gain an understanding of where those feelings come from.

I help people to gain the insight and awareness needed to be the best version of themselves. I strive to create a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment, where people can express themselves and work toward living the life they really want. I work with clients on being less depressed, less anxious, and on overcoming behaviors that may be holding them back. I enjoy working with people who have been in therapy before and also people who have not. I will meet you where you are and help you to clarify and work toward your goals.

Hi! My name is Lisa Broadrup. During my 25+ years in the field of mental health, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings. Many times, clients initially come in because they are in desperate need of relief from their pain and suffering. Yes, therapy can and often does help relieve pain, but it can also help clients explore issues that are effecting their overall quality of life. Over the years I have witnessed the strength and resilience of the human spirit as clients have demonstrated again and again that they can make gains that they did not think possible.

Life is full of ups and downs and sometimes along the way, we get stuck - stuck in negative thought patterns, unhealthy relationships, or maladaptive behaviors. At times it's hard to see a way forward. I wholeheartedly believe you possess the key to unlocking your inner potential. With a client-centered blend of therapeutic art directives and warm, genuine discussion together we can explore what ails you and put you on a path toward self-discovery and self-healing.
