Helping You Stabilize & Thrive, Personally & Professionally
Lisa Pulliam
Founder of Stableminded
Move from Stuck and Surviving to Stabilizing and Thriving!
Welcome to Stableminded, where I am passionate about providing counseling, coaching, and consulting designed to help you stabilize and thrive, personally and professionally.
Whether you are navigating through anxiety, ADHD, trauma, transitions, and burnout or seeking to move forward with more clarity, purpose, and impact, you've come to the right place.
It is time to identify what is holding you back from living the life you were made for and developing the skills you need to thrive today.
While I specialize in equine-assisted therapy, coaching, and learning opportunities, which are held at Concordia Stables, located in the rolling hills of Lancaster County, I'm not limited to only working with horses. I also offer traditional "talk" therapies and EMDR therapy as well as coaching and business consulting for clients who prefer to meet in the office, which is at the barn, and virtually!
Truly, my sweet spot is integrating the best neuropsychological, trauma-informed practices that align with a biblical worldview, providing a strong foundation for healing and growth. However, I know everyone is on a journey of self-discovery, so I leave it to each client to express how they would like their faith to be integrated into the work.
If you have a growth mindset and are ready to take the next brave step, then it is time to stabilize and thrive in the life you were made for!

Meet Lisa Pulliam
Founder of Stableminded & Licensed Associate Professional Counselor
They say that those in the mental health field often enter it because of what they've gone through. Yes, that describes me, emerging from a legacy of abuse and dysfunction to be an active participant in writing a new legacy for my life and my family. Through the support of great mentors, coaches, therapists, my husband, dear friends, my faith in God, and my time with horses, I've been able to experience breakthroughs in every season of my life. Yes, it takes a village! And yet, I do not come to you as a finished work!
There are so many areas of my life in which I am actively committing to grow through what I'm going through. We're all works in progress!
My entry into the helping field began first as a mentor to teenage girls, both as a youth leader and in my time living at the boarding school my husband worked at for 18 years. That role inspired the decision to become trained as a life coach through Life Breakthrough Academy, which was later followed by becoming a Highlands Ability Battery Consultant.
For more than a decade, I helped women experience transformation through providing biblically-based coaching, training, and curriculum, including numerous books, through my ministry, More to Be. In 2018, I embarked on a dream to integrate horses into my work and became certified with the Natural Lifemanship Institute. In turn, that inspired the decision to pursue a Master's in Clinical Counseling with a Trauma Concentration and simultaneously train in EMDR.
In 2024, with a degree in hand, I began the journey of pursuing professional licensure, while continuing to develop Stableminded into a multifaceted counseling, coaching, and consulting practice.
I consider it a privilege to be a trauma-informed counselor, coach, consultant, and educator, helping others determine their best next steps toward stabilizing and thriving personally and professionally.
When I'm not at the stables loving on Kodiak Jack, my 2010 Off-the-Track Thoroughbred I rescued in July of 2022, I can be found savoring time with my husband of 29 years, all-grown-up children, two son-in-laws, a beloved grandson, and being entertained by my "wild-child" of a Golden Retriever. With each breath, I am grateful to walk in faith by grace, all for my Savior's glory.
And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 MSG

What Other's Are Saying
Marcy, Mental Health Professional
Robyn, Equestrian Coaching Client
Lisa McCartney, Therapist
Lisa gave me an invaluable experience working with her and Teddy. It was so special…the exposure and connection to a horse helped me to overcome some of my fear of horses and also made me aware of the times when fear shows up in my relationships and how I can navigate that in a healthier way.
Mary Taylor, Personal Vision Coaching & Restorative Retreat Client
This experience is the beginning of becoming the person I want to be. The work we did with and without the horses gave me such insights into decisions I need/ want to make and a clearer sense of being. Lisa was able to identify and show me how I was being present. She guided me through activities that helped me identify past and present behaviors that have prevented me from making decisions. The stables are located in one of the most beautiful areas and just being there invites a sense of calm. I can’t say enough about this experience, for me, it’s the start of becoming a better me.
Margie Keith
I'd been wandering, without a real sense of purpose or direction since I graduated high school. There were so many things I wanted to do with my life that I couldn't figure out how to settle on one thing. Through coaching sessions and the Highlands Battery Assessment, Lisa facilitated the process of identifying my goals, resulting in moving to Colorado and living the life I longed for.
Alida Barnes
It is not an overstatement to say that working with Lisa has changed my life! Lisa has a gentle, loving way of approaching our time together that challenges me and gives me actionable steps to move forward. She is not afraid to step into the hard places with me. I have learned to be vulnerable and insightful through coaching.
Rachel Thomas Steadman, Bridge of Hope, Chester County
You were clear and helpful to all of us. I was especially thinking how useful the information on managing stress was to parents, in how they respond to children who are causing them stress. You were amazing and I thank you!
