Lisa Rutherford, MSW, LICSW

Life can feel heavy when you’re carrying anxiety, depression, or grief—but you don’t have to carry it alone. I help people uncover the roots of their struggles and build tools for a calmer, more fulfilling life. My approach blends proven methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic work, all within a safe, trusting, and respectful space.

My own experience with loss and the healing power of therapy inspired me to become a mental health professional. For over 20 years, I’ve supported people in moving past obstacles and rediscovering hope. Together, we’ll work toward a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and authentically yours.
