Hi there! I'm Lisa Hardekopf, a Certified Eating Disorders Associate with over 20 years of experience.

I am passionate about making therapy more approachable and effective through creative and thoughtful interventions, utilizing a variety of expressive forms of therapy for those times when talking isn't quite enough. My therapeutic approach is creatively tailored to each individual, and infused with warmth and humor. I also offer innovative animal-assisted therapy with my therapy dog and/or my horse!

Whether you are a tired parent, an anxious teen, or a college student feeling lost in the world...mental health affects us all. Often times, life starts to feel like it is swirling around us instead of us making conscious and fulfilling decisions each day. Your internal compass brought you here; it's gently nudging you to admit that things feel "off" or harder than they should at times. Creating safety and space to express your thoughts, feelings and wants without judgement is something sacred that we all can benefit from.

Right now you are probably scared. You know something needs to change, but you don’t know where to start. You don't know if this works and you're at the point where you afraid that nothing will work. We have all been there, me included. I understand and I do not judge. I have been a clinical therapist for the past 20 years. In my time I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, geriatric patients, and LGBTIQQ individuals. What I have discovered in all my years of practice is that people all want the same things. We want to know that we are loved, valued and respected.

Anxiety, depression, and relational conflicts are what I and my associates' work with Most. Life is a journey with many transitions. Each one of the transition means going from something we know to something we don't. We are excited or apprehensive about what our future holds for us. And, we can be relieved or sad about what or who we are leaving. These life transitions can be challenging or enriching. Whatever they are they can be stressful. Behavioral health providers focus on being a guide to help you on your journey to understand and choose the right path for you while supporting you in your process of change.

When clients contact my office, I work with them to identify what is causing them distress if they do not already know and help them learn new coping strategies to deal more effectively with problems in the future. I treat each client's problems on an individual basis and believe in treating clients with respect. I know it is difficult to contact a professional with a problem which is causing distress and try to make the process a good experience. It is possible to live a happy life.

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."- Jim Rohn. People seek counseling when their emotional pain becomes too much to bear on their own and they want to be free of it. How we deal with life's pain defines who we are. While we don't choose to undergo misfortune, we do decide how we react to those events. I have found that negative experiences can also trigger something positive within us. Crisis offers opportunity for change, and pain can be the catalyst for transformation.
