Philosophy

What can I expect from my professional counseling experience with Lisa Headrick Meyer?

Results.  Expect results.

If you are personally invested in our counseling relationship you can be certain that YOUR goals will be met and that you will come away with new skills, insights and stronger relationships.  Therapy is an intimate form of learning.  Through my genuineness and aliveness in the context of a person-to-person relationship, I seek to teach and inspire my clients to reach their personal goals.  Our work together will be an interactive process focusing on communication, psycho-education, relationship between thoughts and actions, and the impact of behavioral patterns.  I am committed to developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship with each client that empowers them to act in their own best interest.  I am committed to a holistic approach to treatment, honoring the integration of mind, body and spirit.  Furthermore, I maintain a strong relationship with a broad network of healthcare professionals to ensure continuity of care and awareness of local and specialized professional resources.

Change and stress are normal in life, but you do not have to face them alone. Sometimes our normal coping resources are not adequate to handle what life brings. Other times we find ourselves in circumstances that are new or unexpected, forcing us to draw on a skill set or life experience that we have not yet developed.

I believe the foundation for effective therapy is a safe and nurturing relationship. When a nurturing relationship is combined with clinically effective, scientifically proven techniques and accountability, profound transformation can occur.

Change is worth the effort and the risk. I know that true change takes time. In the context of our professional work together you will develop new skills and profound insights for managing your life and relationships. It is my goal, for each client that I serve, that upon the successful conclusion of our work together, you will have the strength, awareness and resources to confidently manage your life in a way that is healthy, authentic and effective.
