Lisa Knowles, M.Ed., LMHC, ERPSCC
President\Owner
Lisa is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Emergency Responder & Public Safety Certified Clinician with 20 years of clinical experience. She has dedicated her private practice to those who selflessly serve the community and does so with purpose and conviction because, as several of her clients have enthusiastically said, she “gets it.”
Her grasp of the stress that law enforcement faces, often including excessive departmental and public scrutiny, allows her to offer discreet support that positively impacts the trajectory of her clients lives, careers, and families. Lisa appreciates, affirms and values the sacrifices made by first responders and recognizes the challenging and demanding environment they face each day with the limited resources available to them.
