Hi! My name is Lisa Hargrove, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state if North Carolina (LCMHC #12065) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS #21906). I am also cross licensed in the state of Nevada as a Clinical Professional Counselor (CPC #5262-R). I have been in the Substance Abuse field since 1996 working as an alcohol counselor in an outpatient setting and received my applied AAS degree in 1996 and went on to receive my BS in Community Health and Human Services with an emphasis on Grief and Gerontology. For many years, I worked in the criminal justice area of substance abuse and worked for Suffolk TASC and Drug Treatment Court until relocating to North Carolina from New York. After my move, I worked in various different types of SUD and Mental Health programs as well as domestic violence and sexual assault programs. I received my Masters degree in Professional Counseling and a Masters degree in Criminal Justice from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia in 2015 and 2017. I have experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Medication Assisted Treatment, and Trauma Informed Care and believe in a trusting partnership that will encourage the client to both healing and empowerment as well as to maximize their life goals. I am passionate about normalizing substance abuse and mental health treatment and improving accessibility of mental health care for all. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transition, SUD, grief, domestic abuse, trauma, and working with the aging population. In my free time, I enjoy reading, gardening, horses, traveling and spending quality time with my granddaughter.

As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I encourage individuals, couples, and families to heal and grow through processing and learning skills to overcome obstacles, change behaviors, and realize a sense of self worth. If you are going through a life change and need help understanding it, have experienced trauma and need help healing, or are living with a diagnosis and want to learn skills to help you in life reach out, let us create a plan. What happened to you yesterday may be affecting you today. Together we can uncover your truths, your strengths, your path. You may learn to apply your values and boundaries to every part of life. The answers to your life are buried inside of you. Only you know the details. Together we can uncover what you are looking for. Together we will create a plan designed especially for you in a safe place, without judgment, honoring your uniqueness, your culture, beliefs, and experiences.

With over 12 years of experience in mental health, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adolescents and adults - working with individuals and couples at Spring Health. I hold a space that is safe and non-judgmental, where clients can openly explore their thoughts and emotions. Specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment Theory, I help clients navigate trauma, relationship challenges, communication issues, and intimacy concerns. My style is characterized by transparency and genuine dedication. Whether offering short-term solutions or deeper exploration, I emphasize a strong therapeutic connection and work collaboratively to empower clients in achieving their goals and enhancing well-being.

I am a LPC & LSW with over 20 years in the mental health field. I have two masters’ degrees and a doctorate degree. My strengths are working with people with the greatest need who may not have any hope, support or desire initially to help themselves. I work with children, adolescents, individuals, and families/couples. I work with diverse groups of people. I love my job. I feel that it is important and that only certain people can do it well. Please reach out to me. We will work together as a team. My approach to working with clients is to meet them where they are at. I do not believe in making the client adjust to the clinician. That is not fair. During the therapy session the appropriate therapeutic model will be decided based on what the client reveals during the first few sessions. It is then when the clinician will discuss the thoughts regarding the therapeutic model and the reason for it with the client. Clients can expect to take away a different view of what therapy sessions are after having a session with me. Sessions are actually team work. They are interactive and allow the clients to participate and reflect on many past events not just recent. Therapy can be very empowering. Open to working with children/adolescents 8 years and older.

Choosing to seek therapy to work on ourselves can be a scary endeavor, as there are times where it can become uncomfortable to face some of the challenges in our lives in order to feel better. I like to utilize solution focused therapy, mindfulness practices, as well as CBT, DBT, and EMDR as some of the tools to help my patients. I come from a client centered approach, and I offer a safe and therapeutic environment either from the online platform or in person. I invite you to take that next step and start the journey towards healing and learning how to become your best authentic self. I specialize in working with LGBTQ, anxiety, issues in dealing with lack of self-esteem and self-worth, along with relationship troubles, and learning to adjust to the complex world we are living in. I welcome you to feel empowered to take back control in your life and to have the courage to find what makes you happy and healthy. Open to working with children/adolescents 16 years and older.

I am inspired by the emotional growth we learn from in life. My twenty years in the healing profession has taught me the value of compassion and psychological insight; the ingredients to good therapy. I draw from a range of modalities and tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your emotional needs. My preferences are psychodynamic, attachment, strength based theory, client centered, trauma focused, DBT, IFS and humanistic. Ultimately, therapy is about the relationship. The feeling that this is a “good match” to share your vulnerabilities. I am most confident working with individuals or couples, women’s and men’s issues, with the abuser and the abused(same sex & hetero couples), trauma of all forms, queer issues, identity, racism, oppression, chronic health, seniors, aging, substance use, grief, loss death & dying. Also, depression, anxiety, bipolar, borderline, codependency and etc. My goal is for you to leave sessions with new ways to understand yourself. I hope for the opportunity to be a healing part of your journey.

Are you holding it together on the outside but struggling inside? Tired of trying to “self-help yourself” into feeling better? I am ready to help.
