Lisa Jacobson, LPC Eclectic, Individualized, Integrated Psychotherapy

Schedule an INITIAL CONSULTATION! Integrally trained. Trauma informed. Psychologically grounded.

Spiritually led. I attempted to major in Psychology at the University of Georgia, but had an extremely hard time passing Psych 101! I guess I was too early in my personal growth and discovery journey to know there were different schools of Psychology. Rather than switching universities to find a better fit, I changed my major to Child and Family Development. Looking back, I see how that makes total sense for me. Families fascinate me—I mean, they are the “herd” of our species and we are hard wired to be a part of them whether we want to be or not. I see intergenerational trauma as something many sensitive people were chosen by their ancestors to heal. Development fascinates me—not only child development, but personal development, consciousness development, collective societal development, spiral dynamics…I still felt a huge need to incorporate more of the human experience within psychology, leading me to the University of West Georgia, where I earned my Master’s Degree in 2003 in Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology. Here I finally found the words to articulate my experiences more clearly. Humanistic Psychology offers a different approach to mental health by seeing every human as a unique individual with their own free will, self-analysis and self-actualization. I believe every individual has the capacity for expanded awareness and personal truth, even if it sometimes gets buried by conditioning, confusion or anxiety. By using that lens in therapy, awareness and compassion for oneself are more easily accessible. Expansion follows, allowing for more curiosity and openness, which provides a catalyst for change, growth, self-inquiry, and self-discovery. My path has been anything but linear. I didn’t think I would pursue the counseling profession because I have always felt stifled by the medical model and requirement to diagnose someone. As Glennon Doyle wrote in her book Untamed, “Sometimes the only thing wrong with us is the belief something is wrong with us.” During 2003-2015 I opened and owned a coffee shop, got married, co-owned a Yoga Studio, opened a restaurant/bar, had two kids (one hospital birth, one homebirth), got divorced, worked in-home with families that were involved in the foster care system, and then took the National Counselor’s Exam over 10 years after graduating with my Master’s. It wasn’t long at all after getting my supervision and full license that I opened my private practice. Continuing to learn has always been important to me. My commitment to integrating conventional, contemplative, and creative approaches to wellbeing keeps me always learning more! Additional trainings I’ve received are: Tallapoosa Center for Inner Arts Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, 2003. Psych-K, 2013, Emotional Freedom Technique, Level 1, 2015. Positive Discipline Parent Educator, 2017. Applied Astrology with Debra Silverman, Levels 1&2, 2018. Bowen Family Systems, 2021. I am also a proud member of The Association for Entheogenic Practitioners. This range and depth of experience has imprinted me with a profound regard for the spectrum of ways different people suffer from a range of mental distress. It has also instilled in me a certainty about the human capacity to face and to go beyond suffering. Beyond my formal training, my work with clients is informed by dedicated personal reflection and practice, meditation, and yoga. In reality, I believe we are all just making our best guess at how to avoid pain until we realize our reactions might not be serving us and choose to do the self-work required to consciously respond instead.

“I trust myself and my natural timing.”
A reminder that alignment isn’t rushed.
Your body already knows when it’s time to move—and when it’s time to wait.

We were taught to measure healing by permanence:
better forever, calmer always, fixed at last.

But real healing looks more like flexibility, repair, and self-trust in motion.
If you’re still human—congrats. You’re doing it right.

There’s a quiet exhaustion. Many people are caring right now. Not because they’re broken – but because they’re living inside a gap. When what’s presented as “fine” or “normal” doesn’t match live experience, the nervous system notices long before the mind has language. Across disciplines – political theory, psychology, embodied work – the same pattern is being named. Not everything uncomfortable is pathology. Not everything needs fixing. Sometimes The Work is learning how to stay centered, honest, and relational inside complexity. If this resonates, you’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it.

Many high-capacity women assume things rely on them—
even when the capacity isn’t there.

That reflex isn’t personal failure.
It’s what happens when care and responsibility go unchecked for too long.

Zooming out helps.
Limits aren’t weakness.
They’re information.

So many people think they’re “fighting about politics” with their families.
But what I’m seeing—and hearing—is something deeper.

We’re out-developing the moral and relational frameworks we were given.
And there’s very little language for what happens when nuance replaces certainty,
and integrity starts to matter more than harmony.

This isn’t about being right.
It’s about becoming an adult in a complex world—
and grieving what can’t come with us unchanged.

If this series has helped you name something you’ve been holding quietly,
you’re not alone.
And you’re not imagining the shift.

💬 Feel free to share what part landed—or simply sit with it.

I’ve been creating something for parents who want support understanding both their child’s emotional world and their own role within it—without labels, fixing, or pressure to get it right.

Childscape is a personalized emotional map for parents, designed to help make sense of big feelings, sensitivity, and reactivity by looking at how your child is wired to experience the world—and how regulation, language, and repair actually work in real life.

It draws on emotional intelligence, nervous system awareness, Human Design, and astrology—not as belief systems, but as lenses for understanding temperament, need, and relationship.

This is work about presence and perspective.
About learning your child and yourself at the same time.

If you’re curious, you can read more here:

Every child has an inner landscape—how they feel emotions, how they respond to stress, and how they experience connection. When that landscape isn’t understood, big emotions can feel confusing, overwhelming, or personal.

A lot of people are quietly wondering:
“Why does everything feel so intense, confusing, or unreal right now?”

This isn’t a personal failure or lack of resilience.
It’s what happens when shared reality fractures and the nervous system loses its sense of orientation.

This moment asks something different of us—not faster answers, louder certainty, or self-blame…
but honesty, slowness, and staying human inside complexity.

💬 What have you noticed in yourself lately—numbing, tightening, reactivity, or slowing down?

(You’re welcome to just read and sit with this, too.)

In a time of collective disorientation, it’s essential to stay grounded. Schedule a Pop-Up Process Sessions to process your feelings and find support. Together, we can navigate this complexity and maintain our inner compass.

A lot of people think “secure” means you never get triggered, never get defensive, never shut down, never say the wrong thing. And then they use every messy moment as proof they’re broken, or that the relationship is doomed.

But secure attachment is the willingness to turn back toward each other after the misstep. To get curious about what happened inside you. To name your impact without collapsing into shame. To hear your partner’s experience without arguing it away.

There’s a particular kind of weight that comes with awareness.
Not anxiety exactly. Not control.
More like seeing how many threads are moving at once and feeling responsible for holding them.

If that’s you — pause here.
Not everything that feels heavy is a problem to fix.
Some of it is simply consciousness meeting complexity.

If this landed, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to carry it all so tightly.
