A Leader in Mental Health

Licensed marriage and family therapist and wellness coach

A nationally respected teacher, public speaker, and psychotherapist, Lise specializes in working with couples, sex and love addiction, co-dependency, creativity, and people who are on overload or who are in transition. She views therapy as a unique opportunity to reclaim control over your life. Rooted in the belief that people thrive when they feel supported, Lise takes a wholistic approach to healing with an emphasis on restoring balance.

Lise doesn’t view people as ill or broken, yet she knows life sometimes spins out of control. Is your job sucking your life force? Do you never have enough time? Do your kids engage with their phones more than you? Have you lost sight of what matters? The common denominator here is that something is off kilter. A licensed marriage and family therapist and drama therapist with over twenty years of experience, Lise helps diagnose problems, search for solutions, and anchor individuals during periods of profound growth and change.

How can struggle be turned
into something beautiful?

Own Your Life: How our Wounds Become our Gifts by Lise Porter

For everyone who’s ever wanted their life to be different but feels like they’re stuck in gear, Own Your Life explores how we can leverage adversity and move from crisis, challenge, or loss to a place of thriving in our lives.

There is no easy way out of pain yet we often think something is wrong if we find ourselves revisiting the same old stories with no new ending. We’re told that if we just think happy thoughts, all will be well, and then feel like failures when it isn’t. How then do we transform our narratives and embrace our strengths and weaknesses?

In Own Your Life, Lise Porter, a licensed psychotherapist passionately asserts that when we fully own the ups and downs of our lives, our personal wounds actually become gifts that serve us and the world at large. Through thirty-five short narratives all dealing with specific themes and tools pertaining to transformation, Porter debunks stigmas associated with grief, loss, and trauma and shares insights that inform, inspire, and soothe- providing readers hope and teaching them how to metabolize adversity so they can tolerate, integrate, and transcend those experiences.
