Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome one and all!
Let me introduce myself. I am Lisa. I’m a mother of four and grandmother of five. All exceptionally wonderful souls! I have lived a diverse life since leaving the nest in 1984 and serving my first tour of duty in the U.S. Army. I am a 14 year veteran with combat experience in Iraq in 2007. I also have over 5 years experience as a Corrections Deputy here in Michigan. I remain as a volunteer Firefighter after leaving a full time position as a Paramedic/Firefighter. Now, here I am a fully licensed professional counselor in Michigan (LPC). I have 3 years experience in working with adults with Substance Use Disorder where we see a vast majority also have issues dealing with depression, anxiety and traumatic past issues along with a myriad of other problems that leave people feeling stuck and unable to move forward. I approach each session as another extension of a journey. A journey that I want to be a part of as a partner walking beside you; and, not pushing you from behind nor dragging you along from in front.

Lisa Draper is a Michigan-based counselor, a mother of four and a grandmother of five who draws on a wide range of life and service experiences. She left home in 1984 and answered a call to serve in the U.S. Army, beginning a long and varied career that shaped her perspective on resilience and recovery.
Her background includes 14 years of military service with combat experience in Iraq in 2007, more than five years as a Corrections Deputy in Michigan, and a history of frontline emergency service as a paramedic and firefighter. Although she left full-time firefighting and paramedic work, she continues to serve her community as a volunteer firefighter.
Professionally, she is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan – a state credential that indicates completion of the required training and licensure to practice clinically (MI LPC 6401018352). She has seven years of experience providing therapy and three years working specifically with adults with Substance Use Disorder, many of whom also navigate depression, anxiety, traumatic past experiences, and other challenges that can create a sense of being stuck. She approaches each session as another step on a shared journey, positioning herself as a partner who walks beside clients rather than pushing from behind or dragging from the front.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy truly makes a difference. For common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes – online therapy is often just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best – from video calls and phone sessions to live chat or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
These services are provided by licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible option for many people seeking support.
