Counseling Adults in Anchorage, Alaska
Brainspotting for ages 5 years old and up
Introduction
Hello! I’m Lisa, a Licensed Psychological Associate (LPA) in Anchorage, Alaska. My office is located in midtown next to the Bear Tooth Theatre. I have been a psychotherapist since 1996. I began my career in Fairbanks, Alaska, continued in Washington state, then Minnesota, and returned to Alaska to settle down in 2006.
There is no greater
agony
than bearing an untold story inside you.

My style of counseling is conversational with a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, Complex-PTSD, anxiety, depression, parenting support, relationship issues, ADHD, and religious trauma.
(I no longer provide couples counseling or play therapy).
I also offer Brainspotting (click to learn more about it) for children and adults. I rely heavily on evidence-based practices, and the research of interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory. I utilize all I have learned throughout my 28 years as a counselor to support you in developing a more fulfilling life.
Make sure you
really
connect.
It’s important to find a counselor who helps you feel safe, comfortable, open, and supported.
It may take a few sessions before we find our rhythm with each other.
Also, therapy can be challenging — it may sometimes feel painful.
Finding someone you can share your feelings, experiences, hopes, and setbacks without judgment helps to ease the pain of it.
IN-PERSON OR TELEHEALTH : I am offering appointments in person (mid-town Anchorage) and via telehealth (at https://doxy.me/lawsoncounseling). See Contact page for more details about hours, location, and current availability.
