Lisa Bertellotti, LCSW
Owner, Clinical Director
Therapist | Intuitive Healer | Believer in Holistic Wellness | Holder of Space
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." -Carl Jung
Lisa Bertellotti is intuition and wisdom paired with 26 years of experience.
As our founder, owner and clinical director, Lisa is dedicated to an integrative approach that blends traditional therapy with holistic wellness and healing. She has a passion for helping others reconnect with their authentic selves, while bringing joy, purpose, and alignment back into their lives. Lisa 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.
You won’t find her throwing CBT worksheets your way and she doesn’t know the latest Tik Tok mental health trends- we find that to be a good thing because she is not about quick fixes, relying on diagnoses, or surface level symptom management, but rather takes the time to address long standing patterns, childhood wounds, and trauma while working to create greater self awareness and meaningful change with her clients.
A self proclaimed neuroscience nerd, Lisa has decades of experience as a student and teacher of mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, somatic healing and experiencing, diet and supplementation coaching, as well as research-based natural remedies for mental health. Lisa is passionate about integrating these modalities to help clients cultivate self-awareness, overall health and wellness, and healing and she practices what she preaches.
