Specializing in Trauma-Informed Christian Counseling
Is mental health counseling for you?
It can be scary to entertain the thought of pursuing mental health counseling because it inherently means you feel like there is something wrong with how you're coping in response to life's challenges. And yet, that struggle is the very reason to boldly seek out help.
We were never meant to go through life alone!
We need others to help us navigate through life successfully.
Unfortunately, the very people we ought to be able to depend upon -- our parents and spouses, siblings and relatives, friends and community of faith, and sometimes even employers and colleagues -- are often the individuals who have caused us the most harm.
And so we find ourselves feeling isolated, abandoned, betrayed, hurt, disappointed, depressed, angry, afraid, anxious, worried, and overwhelmed. That's just to name a few of the emotions we feel when our relationships break down and circumstances take a turn in the wrong direction. Can you relate?
When those emotions become intolerable, other issues erupt, like addictions, patterns of disassociation, and withdrawal from others. It's understandable because your mind, heart, and body are seeking survival and safety. yet the very thing you need -- to be seen, heard, loved, and supported -- becomes further and further out of reach.
Taking the courageous step in pursuing counseling may not be the magic bullet that will resolve all your issues. However, with the support of working together, I will help you stabilize so that you can thrive in the life you were made to live.

Meet Lisa Pulliam, LAPC
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, passionate about 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.
