Experience, Wisdom, Intuition| Believer in Holistic and Natural Wellness | Holder of Space

“The therapist is not a healer; the therapist is a witness to the healing process.” -Carl Jung

Lisa Bertellotti is intuition and wisdom paired with 26 years of experience.

As our founder, owner and clinical director, Lisa has a passion for helping others reconnect with their authentic selves, while bringing joy, purpose, and alignment back into their lives. As a truly integrative and holistic mental health provider, she invests in exploring all the aspects of life that impact mental health- the belief systems we have about ourselves and others, our past, our present, our relationships, daily habits, diet, movement, spiritual beliefs and more.

“Therapy with me is probably not going to look like sitting on a couch while I nod thoughtfully and say, “And how does that make you feel?” There will be some of that, but there will also be laughter, weird drawings, unexpected connections, deep conversations, and me asking questions that might make you pause.

I’m experience and wisdom mixed with a little bit of neuroscience and a strong intuitive side, so I love helping people explore the “why” behind what they’re experiencing from many different perspectives, including the connection between emotional experiences and what shows up in the body. We’ll pay attention to those somatic pieces and how your body may be communicating what words sometimes can’t.

My beliefs about humans is that they are exactly perfect as they are while also being capable of growing into something more.

If you’re ready to dig deep, challenge yourself, explore holistic wellness, and occasionally wander into a conversation about spirituality or the meaning of life, we’ll probably have fun doing it.”
