Meet the Owner

Hi, I’m Lisa! So happy you’re here and welcome to this site. I have a pretty diverse background and while I enjoyed working at several different practices, hospitals, and organizations, my passion, purpose, and mission was to start my own. I’ve always wanted a space for women to feel worthy, valued, and unashamed and I hope Worth Above Rubies (W.A.R.) does just that for you. Being able to offer therapy services, the Word of God, and supervision to fellow clinicians is a dream! It’s a one stop shop and I hope you find some sort of refuge here. I hope you contact us for any of our services.

a worthy approach.

Solution Focused Therapy:

Therapy is a journey and sometimes it seems unclear, but through a solution focused lens, we will empower you to create realistic goals for yourself, curate a unique plan, provide tools and coping mechanisms, and support you as you navigate life’s twists and turns. It is very easy to focus on the past, but with a solution focused lens, we will process the past and move towards the future. The solutions are already within you.

Relationship Building:

There are various seasons in life worth mentioning that would be a lot easier with someone else by your side. With that in mind, our focus is on building relationships and building a strong therapeutic alliance. You can get far alone, or you can get a lot further together. We strive to ensure that each client is matched appropriately to a clinician since it benefits the therapeutic process. Each of our clinicians are well trained and have a passion for helping others.

Christian Faith Based:

We provide Christian counseling as well. With this approach, we use the Word of God in our approach to help guide, equip, and affirm you as you embark on this new journey. Our prayer is that the Word of God will sustain you and that God’s truths will cause you to become whole. Our goal is that this approach brings both practical and spiritual skills together. We believe God desires us to be well and whole.
