Woman Therapist Near Me
Lisa D. Shields is a compassionate and dedicated counselor committed to helping adolescents, families, women, and military personnel and first responders feel truly seen, heard, and understood. She believes every person deserves a safe, supportive space to share their story without fear of judgment. Lisa’s approach centers on building authentic connections and trust so clients feel validated, empowered, and supported as they begin their healing journey.
Lisa integrates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Therapy, and Christian Counseling — thoughtfully tailoring each session to her clients’ unique needs, because no two healing journeys are the same.

Through empathy, education, and collaboration, she empowers clients to better understand themselves while developing practical skills to move forward with confidence.
Whether a client is facing a difficult season or seeking personal growth, Lisa is honored to walk alongside them — helping transform feelings of overwhelm into resilience, self-doubt into confidence, and pain into possibility.
