About Lisa
Hi! My name is Lisa Sojourner, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor. I am also the founder of Grace & Nature Group. My approach integrates evidence-based clinical treatment with the beauty and wisdom of the Catholic Church. I believe in meeting the whole person, getting to know not just a client’s challenges but their circumstances, relationships, and spiritual life too.
I earned my master’s degree in Mental Health Therapy from Rollins College. My bachelor’s degree is from Florida State University (Go Noles!) in psychology, with minors in French and art history, which I call my minors in goodness and beauty.
I am also a wife and mother of four. I have worked with many individuals and families, and in that time have continued to grow in my respect for the lived experience of the people sitting across from me.

Faith Integrated Counseling
My clinical work draws from evidence-based treatment modalities including EMDR and Internal Family Systems. I also integrate boundaries and spiritual injury work.
Faith & Counseling
While I see clients of all faiths and backgrounds, I also work with clients who are looking for integration of Catholic and Christian principles. I am comfortable talking about clients’ prayer lives, vocational discernment, suffering in the context of the Gospel, virtue, well-ordered relationships, the sacraments, Church communities, and questions of meaning and existence. I often work with clients to maintain a balance by not spiritualizing the psychological and also not psychologizing the spiritual. Faith can be central to the work being done in the counseling room without fear that your therapist is antagonistic to your deeply held faith in God.
What Therapy with Me Is Like
In my office you will not be analyzed as a diagnosis, you will be seen, known, and respected as the unrepeatable person that you are.
My deep passion is to get to know each client individually, to understand them as the unique and unrepeatable person that they are, and to understand the patterns beneath the challenges in their lives so that we can get to the root of those challenges and work toward lasting peace and freedom.
