Lisa Markey, LLPC, CCPT
Founder and Therapist, Soft Landing Healing Minds
Hello, I'm Lisa
Life is not always easy to manage. Sometimes help is needed to navigate the experiences in our lives that feel challenging. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief are real, and finding the right therapist is important.
I want to provide that help so life can feel a little easier to manage. I offer multicultural, evidence-based therapy for adults and adolescents with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life adjustment, and sexual orientation and identity.
I started Soft Landing Healing Minds to create exactly what the name promises: a gentle place to land when life feels heavy. Here, you can slow down, be heard, and take the next step at a pace that feels right for you.

My Approach to Therapy
I believe successful therapy is rooted in a warm, supportive, and trusting relationship. I bring an open mind and a non-judgmental attitude so I can gain a full understanding of your experience.
From this foundation, we will explore and work through the barriers standing between you and the better life you are working toward. That life is within reach, and you do not have to get there alone.
—
Warm and Trusting Relationship
Healing begins with feeling safe. I work to build a relationship where you can speak openly and feel truly heard.
—
Open-Minded and Non-Judgmental
You are welcome here exactly as you are. I listen with curiosity and respect, never judgment.
—
Evidence-Based and Multicultural
I use proven therapy methods and shape them around your culture, identity, values, and life experience.
Who I Work With
I work with adults and adolescents (ages 13 to 100) from all walks of life. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your teen, you will be met with patience and care.

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical items and services.
