Lisa Wood, LCSW

I am Lisa Wood, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at A Healing Place.

I was born and raised in the scenic beauty of Wisconsin. Growing up, I found that I had a knack for lending an ear to others, which made me a trusted friend among my peers who sought comfort in my empathetic nature. This early experience kindled in me a passion for helping others, leading me on a journey to unlock my full potential and make a difference in the lives of those seeking guidance.

My Approach

Throughout my career, I have drawn strength and inspiration from the famous quote in the poem "Invictus": "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul” made famous by Nelson Mandela. This quotation underscores my conviction that everyone possesses the power to chart their own life path, navigating through stormy periods with resilience and determination.
