Lisa Connelly, LPC

Lisa Connelly discovered her calling to counseling while in high school and has spent her career building a broad foundation to support that early conviction. She earned a BA in Psychology and an MA in Professional Counseling with a specialization in Marriage, Family, and Addiction from Ottawa University in Phoenix, Arizona in 2002, and holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor. Over a 15-year career she has practiced across many settings, including therapeutic group homes, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, chemical dependency detox and residential treatment, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice, working with children, adolescents, adults, families, groups, and couples.

Lisa brings specialized work with trauma and anxiety, and she has extensive experience supporting couples and people facing depression, grief and life transitions. Her training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and she draws on a range of clinical approaches to tailor care to each person. She emphasizes integrity, clinical skill, and compassion, and prioritizes building strong rapport so clients can clarify personal goals and move toward healthier, more productive lives.

Based in Texas, Lisa focuses on a wide spectrum of concerns such as stress, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, parenting and blended family challenges, self-esteem and body image, chronic illness and pain, ADHD and mood disorders. She seeks to create a respectful, collaborative environment where people of all ages can work toward meaningful change.
