About Me
Pleased to meet you
Lisa Barr
People have always opened up to me. Sometimes it starts with a conversation, other times in the quiet moments during bodywork—but over and over, I’ve been invited into people’s most personal stories. I’ve listened as clients shared their struggles, heartbreaks, and inner conflicts, often saying, “I don’t know why I’m telling you this—but it helps.”
While I don’t have a psychology degree, I bring over two decades of experience in deep listening, emotional support, and helping people feel more aligned in their lives. My degree is in English and creative writing (magna cum laude), and while that might sound unrelated, it’s actually central to what I do—helping people make sense of their inner narratives, rewrite unhelpful stories, and reconnect with themselves.
Friends, clients—even their partners—have come to me for presence and perspective, not prescriptions. After years of hearing “You should be doing this professionally,” I finally stepped into the work. These sessions aren’t therapy, but they are meaningful. They’re spacious, grounded, and judgment-free. If you need someone to walk beside you while you sort through what’s weighing on you, I’d be honored to be that person.

Praise & Reviews
Lisa is a damn wizard. If you’re in ENM, polyam, or any kind of expansive relationship structure and you’re not sure where your patterns are showing up somatically, GO TO HER. She gets it—like actually gets it. Her understanding of attachment dynamics isn’t just theoretical, it’s embodied. She has this way of helping you untangle knots you didn’t even realize were connected. Plus, she’s well-read, well-resourced, and refreshingly nonjudgmental.

I went to Lisa thinking I was just gonna get a nice back rub and maybe cry a little. What I got was a cosmic realignment, a full nervous system reboot, and a surprise confrontation with my inner 6-year-old who apparently still had beef with my dad. I laughed, I wept, I accidentally healed. Lisa somehow managed to untangle a literal knot in my shoulder and a metaphorical one in my dating life—all in the same session. It’s spooky how good she is. 10/10, would let her rearrange my fascia and my emotional baggage again.

Lisa is an amazing, accomplished, well traveled woman who brings empathy, laser focus and clarity to every session. She has an uncanny ability to pick up on what I am saying and say it back to me in a way that instantly, or slowly, changes my perspective. This allows for expansion of whatever place I was previously stuck on. She goes in depth and can help me see things differently with just a few words. She then leaves space for my own revelation and growth. I always leave her having had profound shift in perception and so much more clarity. Would highly recommend! 10/10
