About Lisa Nelson
Integrative Multidimensional Psychotherapist,
Reiki Master & Intuitive Guide
My name is Lisa .
I earned my Masters Degree in 2012 and then became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Over the last decade, I have dedicated my practice to helping adults and couples navigate the complexities of the human experience. While traditional talk therapy has its place, my own healing journey taught me that true, lasting change requires a multi-dimensional approach.
My Clinical Foundation
I currently live in Chico, California where I am proudly raising my two children, my work is more than a profession—it is a calling born from my own path of transformation. My journey toward becoming a therapist was ignited by my personal recovery from Addiction, Anxiety, Trauma, and an Eating disorder. These lived experiences gave me a profound understanding of the human capacity for resilience and a relentless passion for helping others reclaim their lives.
An Integrative Approach to Deep Healing
I believe in looking at healing through the dimensions of body, emotions, mind, and spirit rather than focusing solely on symptoms. To facilitate this, I have been trained in several powerful, evidence-based modalities:
• Brainspotting & EMDR: Deep healing modalities that go beyond talk therapy of the“pre-frontal cortex” to heal subcortical deep brain structures where trauma is rooted. The result is faster transformation and permanent healing within the brain and nervous system.
•Brainspotting Intensives (sessions spanning 3 to 6 hours), which allow us to process and clear trauma at a significantly faster pace than traditional weekly therapy.
• Hypnotherapy: Having received my diploma from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in 2019, I use the power of the hypnosis to access the subconscious to help heal issues such as quitting smoking, breaking habits and limiting patterns, and accessing and healing patterns related to past lives
• Internal Family Systems (IFS): A transformative tool for understanding the various “parts” of ourselves to achieve inner harmony.
The Shift to Energetic & Spiritual Healing
In 2022, my practice moved to the Chico Holistic Wellness Center, a transition that deepened my alignment with spiritual healing. This led to a series of certifications designed to address the energetic body:• Trained in Quantum Reiki I & II, Traditional Usui Reiki I & II, and a Holy Fire® and Karuna Reiki Master
• Priestess & Channeler: Through the New Earth Alchemy Academy, I trained in energy techniques such as cord cutting, chakra balancing, womb work, and light language activation.
• Integrative Breathwork: As a certified facilitator, I utilize a transformational 3-part conscious breathing style to facilitate deep somatic release and trauma healing in a group or 1:1 setting
• Vedic Astrology: In addition to clinical and energetic work, I offer Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) readings. Unlike Western astrology, Jyotish (defined as “science of light”) provides predictions of timing for life events and a map of your karmic path.
How it helps: It acts as a diagnostic tool for the soul, helping you understand the timing of life events, identify spiritual blockages, and align your healing work with your natural cosmic blueprint. It provides a “why” behind the patterns we work on in therapy.
