Professional Bio

Lisa Fladager, MCAT, LMHC, DTR, CMA

I love my work because I have personally experienced its power, breadth and depth in people's lives - including my own. Movement and the expressive arts connect us with ourselves and with the world in a way that traditional talk therapy alone can never do. This way of working honors the whole self: body, heart, soul, mind, dreams, imagination, creativity, feelings, sensations and spirit. I love helping people dive deep into these sacred places within where it is possible to rediscover one's own healing potential and harness it for wholeness.
