Lisa Rugarber is a licensed professional counselor and holds her license in Pennsylvania and Florida. She has over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. She received her degree from Northern Iowa and her master's from the University of Oregon. She specializes in ADHD, anxiety, behavioral issues, coping skills, grief, infertility, obsessive-compulsive disorder, parenting, peer relationships, relationship issues, self -esteem and stress. Her treatment modalities are cognitive-behavioral, exposure response prevention, family systems, and mindfulness-based. Lisa believes that the past has a role in future decisions, but does not believe your past defines you. She believes that you can choose a new way and let go of past hurts. She wants to work together and may challenge your belief system, and honoring where you came from. She doesn't think there is one "fix," nor does she believe she can "fix" your issue. The power is within the patient, and only they can decide what works best for them.
