Addiction and Substance Abuse Counseling near Ishpeming, MI

Biography: Hello! My name is Lisa Warden and I am a licensed Social Worker. Prior to completing my college, I worked as a massage therapist. I am very aware of the mind-body connection and how we can use our body to heal our mind. I've worked most of my career with helping those in recovery from Trauma, addictions, and personality related issues. These symptoms often really hold a person captive and away from the fulfillment of potential and in a constant state of survival. It gets me very excited to see a client who has been through hell, begin to thrive and enjoy life in a way they may have not thought possible. It can be very challenging to reach out for help and schedule a session. I offer a warm and flexible style (and often include humor) and I actively work to meet each client where they are and offer the encouragement and the skills to assist getting clients to where they'd like to be. I look forward to working with you!

We achieve this together by holding a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing an individualized treatment plan that's about you. I work with people on substance use issues, traumatic stress, and other causes of depression, anxiety, anger, or grief. The most important thing about therapy is having a good relationship with your counselor. Trust, and working at your pace are what I strive for. We can use talk-therapy, EMDR, and other methods. Mindfulness, meditation, and Yoga can be included as desired. Issues that women and girls face such as relationships, motherhood, and DV are often addressed. I am truly honored on a daily basis to be invited to this sacred heart's work. I strive to use my own experience to be of service to others who are driven to heal. Thank you for considering me. We do recover!
