Lisa Hammes, LPC

Lisa Hammes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, isolation, and related challenges that often accompany complex life situations.

Her therapeutic style is warm and interactive, and she often brings a sense of humor into sessions to help build rapport and ease difficult conversations. She adapts her methods to meet each person where they are in their journey, drawing from an eclectic toolkit that centers on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, solution-focused strategies, trauma-focused work, and Jungian perspectives when appropriate. Lisa emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story and aims to identify and build on existing strengths to support meaningful change. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a state credential for clinicians trained to provide mental health counseling.

Seeking therapy takes courage, and Lisa acknowledges that first step. She welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with individuals who are ready to explore changes, develop coping skills, and pursue a more satisfying and balanced life.
