MY journey to clinical supervision

As an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of mental health professionals, and have found great joy in fostering growth and excellence within new clinicians in the field.

With over nineteen years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Addiction Therapist, my career began in addiction treatment before transitioning into school-based mental health, where I have played a key role in developing innovative programs, expanding access to care, and providing guidance and supervision to early-career counselors.

Previously, I served as Program Director for Magellan Federal, where I led global behavioral health services supporting military families across seven countries and Hawaii. With a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, I am a sought-after speaker recognized for my data-driven approach to wellness and mental health.

In addition to my clinical work, I support two CACREP-accredited Universities, teaching group practicum, counseling skills, and diversity courses for master’s-level students, helping to shape the future of the profession through education and mentorship.

My dedication to counselor education has garnered national recognition, including the 2023 Caron Foundation Award for my pioneering work in school-based substance abuse treatment and the 2024 Rocky Mountain Research Award for excellence in Counselor Education and Supervision, highlighting my research on the alliance in dual-role supervision.

As a clinical supervisor, mentor, and thought leader, I am dedicated to empowering emerging counselors with the skills, insight, and ethical foundation needed to thrive in the ever-evolving field of mental health care.

Beyond work, I’m energized by adventure and discovery. I’ve lived in two countries outside the U.S. and love exploring—through travel, photography, and time in nature. Being a mom is one of my greatest joys. I recharge outdoors, camera in hand, finding beauty in the little things.

“I had the privilege of working with Lisa as my clinical supervisor, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Throughout our time together, she provided unwavering support, insightful guidance, and a compassionate presence that made all the difference in my professional development.

Lisa created a safe and welcoming environment where I felt comfortable discussing both my challenges and successes. Her deep knowledge of psychotherapy practices, combined with her empathetic and patient approach, helped me navigate complex cases with confidence. She offered thoughtful feedback and encouraged me to grow both professionally and personally.

What stood out most was her genuine care for my well-being and her commitment to fostering my skills. She was always available to offer advice, share resources, and celebrate milestones with me. Her mentorship has had a lasting impact on my career, and I am truly grateful for their guidance.

If you are looking for a supervisor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply invested in your growth, I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa. “
