Hi, I am Lisa Firullo, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor(LCMHC) and have been in the field for over 20 years. I love the work that I do!
I enjoy helping others to live with joy and have more vibrant lives. My mission is to provide an opportunity for individuals to create a deeper connection with themselves and others by combining traditional approaches as well as integrative approaches such as yoga, breath work, mindfulness, somatic and nature- based interventions.
I enjoy supporting others to overcome difficult life challenges through supportive counseling, compassion & guidance. I work with people who feel stressed, who can't turn their mind off and feel overwhelmed. I also work with people who feel depressed, sad and/or dealing with grief and loss. I work with those who have difficulty focusing or issues with organizing and getting started. I support people who are in life transitions such as a job change, relationship change or new relationship, and relocation. I also support clients to build self-worth and self -love. If there are issues around people-pleasing and identifying and asking for your own needs, I work with that too.
Approach: I use a combination of techniques to help people grow by working through patterns, behaviors, and emotions. I incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches drawing from variety of techniques depending on what will be most helpful for each client. I provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current and long-standing patterns. I tend to take an integrative approach which means I work with clients on aspects of their mind, body, social, family, career, medical, financial, and spiritual life. I may make active lifestyle recommendations such as nutrition, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and journal writing. I may incorporate yoga poses and breathing exercises into sessions when appropriate. I love nature and offer walk-and-talk therapy as well.
Therapy is ultimately a place to uncover the patterns that are no longer serving you. Therapy is ultimately a moment to say yes to a greater understanding of you. It is a place to come back to the truth of you who are, who you were, before all the “stuff” got in the way. Slowing down and taking care of you in whatever way is needed. Rarely do we take the time to really focus on ourselves in this busy world we live in. Rarely do we slow down enough to feel what we are feeling or fully embrace the moment we are in. When we are rooted, we can expand.
Credentials: I earned a Bachelors Degree in Sociology and Psychology and a Masters Degree in Counseling & Guidance from Clemson University. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina. I am a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher with extensive training in trauma sensitive yoga, yoga for anxiety and depression. I also trained in CBT, Nature-Based Interventions, DBT, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, etc. I am continually learning and take regular trainings to enhance my skills.
In addition to private practice, I have a background working in hospitals, universities, inpatient & outpatient substance abuse facilities, and community mental health centers. I am currently accepting new clients, adults only, ages 18 and up. I do not provide couples/marriage counseling.
