Lisa Shoemaker, Therapist/Owner

Hello! I am Lisa Shoemaker. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have a passion for helping others through the lows and highs that life entails! A safe space where you are heard, and a therapeutic relationship where we work together to address your biggest concern is what I offer you. I utilize an integrative approach to treatment including client-centered, strengths-based, solution focused, and mindfulness-based practices. I obtained a Bachelor of Social Work from Lamar University and a Master of Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington. I completed additional training from the University of Denver on integrating horses into therapy sessions. I have served individuals in a variety of different settings from children with behavioral challenges in a school setting, women and children seeking refuge in a domestic violence shelter, the foster care system, nursing facility residents, and individuals/families walking through the end-of-life journey. I have experience with children/families battling medical complexities and the stresses and complications that accompany chronic conditions. I work with children and parents that are having issues with behavioral challenges at home or in school, medically complex children and parents, individuals that are navigating their end-of-life journey, grief in children and adults, and anxiety or depression in children or adults. If this sounds like what you are facing, I would love to work with you! I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons. We can be found spending time outdoors either taking care of horses, hiking, camping, or spending time at the beach. I have a passion for advocating for individuals in the rare disease community. I enjoy challenging myself by running marathons while raising awareness for individuals and community organizations in the rare disease space. I provide in-person therapy session in an equine environment as well as virtual sessions. I serve individuals, couple, and family therapy sessions. I look forward to meeting you!
