Lisa Havelin, LMFT
BCCS Lead Therapist

We can be kind, strong, intelligent, and resourceful individuals and still there will be times when we need other people to support us - that’s just how we’re built. Acknowledging that vulnerability and asking for what we need is true wisdom. I honor and respect that in you. Every person is a unique expression of life, I work to support people in awakening to a more authentic way of living. I deeply respect the painful things that bring people to seek support, as thresholds that offer the potential for healing, connection and purpose and work to cultivate that optimism while also honoring the suffering that leads to such transitions. I see people from the perspective of their basic goodness and health, and the challenges they face as an opportunities to “hear” from the parts of them that need attention, are out of balance, or have important information for us. I work to ensure that the space we work in together is a comfortable one, in which difficult issues and emotions can be explored without judgment. My personal experience has shown me how healing it can be to have the felt sense of being truly seen and heard. In my work I address the whole person, incorporating mindfulness and mind/body approaches where appropriate to support emotional regulation.
