I'm Lisa.
I’m a therapist, artist, and mother. Before becoming a therapist, I spent fourteen years in the entertainment industry, working as a writer and producer and later as a supervising story producer. I developed ideas, shaped stories, and led creative teams—experience that still informs how I listen and my connection to artists and creative professionals.
I know the pressure to produce and the identity questions that come with creative work. I’m interested in who you are beyond what you make.
I’m also interested in the things we learn to do to belong: being useful, impressive, or easy to love. I’m warm and direct. I ask questions, notice patterns, and make room for feelings—and humor. Together, we bring that understanding into everyday life.
Lisa Stevens, AMFT, is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist practicing under the clinical supervision of Meghan Hohn Lacks, PhD (Tennessee MFT License LMT2227; NPI 1336692896), while pursuing independent licensure in Tennessee.
Practical Questions
Is this art class or is this therapy?
Psychotherapy and studio gatherings are separate offerings. Creative work can be included in therapy when it supports your goals. Workshops and community gatherings are educational experiences and do not establish a therapist-client relationship.
Do I have to make art?
No. Art is optional. We can work through conversation, attention to emotions and bodily experience, and practical exercises.
Do you work with couples?
Yes. I work with adults individually and with couples, including those navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, and betrayal.
How do we actually start?
Request a consultation using the form below. We can talk about what brings you here, answer questions, and discuss whether working together feels like a fit. A consultation is not a therapy session and does not commit you to ongoing work.
Let’s start with a conversation.
Tell me whether you’re interested in individual therapy, relationship therapy, or creative offerings, along with your general availability. You don’t need to put your whole story in a contact form. I’ll respond with next steps and current availability.
