Lisa La Rose , LPC

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. As an LPC, she holds a state credential to provide professional counseling and combines formal training with practical skills to support people facing a wide range of challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado and is currently working toward a PhD in Psychology at Northcentral University. In addition to clinical work, she teaches psychology courses at a local community college.

Her approach is grounded in respect for each person s expertise in their own life. She aims to meet clients where they are, identify existing strengths, and offer compassionate, practical tools that can be put into practice between sessions. Lisa emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist work together to set goals and try strategies that fit each individual s needs and values. She often integrates evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based techniques, and client-centered principles.

Her clinical focus includes stress and anxiety, depression, addictions and habit change, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief and life transitions, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and support for first responders. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication and control issues, domestic violence, body image and eating-related problems, caregiver stress, and other family difficulties. She values practical progress and helping people recognize opportunities for change even during difficult transitions. She also enjoys spending time outdoors in Colorado, hiking, reading, painting, traveling with her husband, and playing with her dog, Luna. She acknowledges that seeking help is a brave step and respects the work people do to move forward.
