Getting to know Lisa Anderson Akine

Hi there, I'm Lisa! Like many people, I have experienced trauma and substance misuse. For years, I allowed those experiences to shape how I viewed myself and my interactions with others. I struggled with emotional reactions, difficulty trusting others, and the pain of relationships impacted by unresolved wounds. Eventually, I realized I had a choice, I choose therapy. My focus Someone who is ready to make changes, grow, and challenge themselves. Look up the "stages of change", that will give you a sense of therapy with me. My approach I am compassionate, caring, and understanding. However, I hold people accountable, while at the same time promoting self growth and self expression. I listen for opportunities to learn about you, so you can have a better understanding as to your WHYs! I can also make therapy fun, because of my sense of humor. I just love therapy! My communication style I would describe my communication style as compassionate, direct, truthful, honest, trustworthy, insightful, sensitive, funny, jokester, and celebratory. My journey to mental healthcare I am a person in long term recovery, I was also given up for adoption at birth. I started my healing journey at age 26, with a ninth grade education. I was in so much pain, that change or death was going to be the only option. I choose LIFE! 35 years later, and I'm happy. My goals for you I don't assume people come to therapy to achieve goals. I believe people come to therapy to rediscover themselves or discover a part of themselves they have loss. As they uncover to discover they find change! Our first session I introduce myself, and then ask the client to tell me about them and why they are coming to therapy. In the first session. I do a lot of listen and looking for opportunities to education and ask questions. I tend to hear a lot of trauma and patterns when people talk to me. I ask the client are they hearing the same thing, most say no.
