Lisa works collaboratively with the clinical team on the development and implementation of Wellbridge’s Family Program.

Her experience spans at-risk youth, substance use, and families. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, she’s worked with families in various mental health settings. Prior to joining Wellbridge, Lisa was the Family Program Director of an Intensive Outpatient Program for adolescents and young adults. She also worked as a Coordinator of an Adolescent Outpatient Substance Abuse Program and a Supervisor for a PINS (Person In Need of Supervision) Diversion program.
