Lisa King Smith, EdS, LPC LLC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Georgia, working in private practice. I seek to provide compassionate, holistic mental health and wellness care to help you achieve greater well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth. My practice is dedicated to treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - through an integrative approach that blends evidence-based psychotherapy with complementary healing modalities along with health and wellness coaching from an integrative perspective. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where my clients can explore their challenges, gain insights, and develop practical tools for leading more fulfilling lives. I will guide each client that I work with on a personalized journey of self-discovery, sustainable change, healing, and empowerment. I believe that cultivating mindfulness, self-compassion, and a deeper connection to one's authentic self are essential for overcoming obstacles and realizing one's full potential. I am committed to walking alongside each of my clients, by providing expert guidance, and supporting long-term transformation every step of the way. I have a Bachelors & Masters of Arts (B.A & M.A) in Psychology, an Education Specialist (Ed.S) in Professional Clinical Mental Health Counseling & Supervision and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Integrative Health & Wellness from the University of West Georgia. I have also served on the Board of Directors for the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of GA (LPCA-GA) in the capacity of President for 2018-19 and Immediate Past-President for 2019-20. Prior to that, I served as President-Elect for 2017-18 and 4 terms as the Western District Chair and Co-Chair for LPCA-GA. LPCA-GA is the state chapter of the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA). Additionally, I am certified through the International Trauma Training Institute as a Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and as a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Practitioner (CMHIMP), certified through the Mental Health Integrative Medicine Institute. After completing my Master of Science in Integrative Health & Wellness, I successfully passed the national board certification exam earning the NBC-HWC credential for health & wellness coaching. I am also certified by LPCA-GA as a Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), where I provide Clinical Supervision for those seeking full licensure as an LPC in Georgia. I work with all sorts of populations, but I feel that my strengths lie in working with young adults, adults, teens, pre-teens, parenting issues, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma and anyone going through a challenging life transition or existential crisis. I offer sessions both face to face & online through video on my Simple Practice client portal.
