Lisa Dunavin, LPC Associate

I believe everyone deserves and is within reach of a fulfilling life. What stands in the way may be external or internal, current issues or past traumas, conscious or under the surface of conscious thought.  It commonly manifests as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, distorted sense of self, and questioning of one’s purpose in this world. I became a therapist to help others navigate these obstacles and realize a healthy, authentic life with a sense of hope for today and tomorrow. 

In my work with adults of all ages, couples, and adolescents, I have seen how therapy can open doors and change lives. I practice a holistic, person-centered approach to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship that aligns with each client’s specific needs.  I integrate techniques from various therapeutic modalities including psychodynamic therapy, CBT, EMDR, strengths-based therapy, trauma-informed therapy, existential therapy, and others that help us navigate together what is keeping you stuck in a place of pain, frustration or discontent.  

My work as a therapist and decades of life experiences have given me a profound sense of curiosity and respect for both the uniqueness and similarities of each person I meet. I consider our work together an opportunity to move forward in a way that positively impacts the world starting with our small piece of it.
