Individual and Couples Therapy – Adults 18+
Lisa A. Houck is a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) specializing in individual and couples therapy as well as those with substance use challenges. Before joining Anne Arundel Counseling, Inc., she completed a year-long advanced internship at KeyPoint Health Services, Inc. in Catonsville, MD, serving adult clients with a broad spectrum of diagnoses. She has experience as a Certified Supervised Counselor-Alcohol and Drugs (CSC-AD) completing an internship and subsequent employment at a residential substance use treatment center for adult males.
Lisa is a person-centered therapist who uses an eclectic style of techniques and modalities tailored to her clients. She feels a strong therapeutic relationship, genuineness, and empathy are key in serving her clients. Lisa has the most experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care. Her areas of interest are working with adults 18+ experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, ADHD, Substance Abuse, Bipolar Disorder, separation/divorce, parenting and self-esteem challenges, relationship/communication issues, and stress management.
This is Lisa’s second career having served in the DoD for 38 years, although it has always been her dream to become a mental health therapist. She believes everyone, at one time or another, will find they need a little help with their mental health and if you go to the doctors to take care of your physical health why not a mental health counselor for your mind and soul.
Lisa will be seeing clients’ in-person in the Annapolis office on Tuesday’s and in the Glen Burnie office on Wednesday’s.
