Meet The Team
Lisa Marie Paradis, MA, LPCC, Art Therapist
All of us go through times in our life when questions come more easily than answers. Therapy can bring awareness and compassion to our struggles, illuminating hidden strengths and possibilities. My goal is to help you safely and intentionally explore your thoughts and feelings, and guide you on the journey home to your true-whole self.
I have lived in New Mexico since 2013 and attended Southwestern College with a Master’s in Art Therapy and Counseling. My work is informed by attachment theory, Jungian analysis, and expressive modalities, as well as dream work. When not with clients, I enjoy writing, making art, and hiking with my dogs in the mountains.
Lisa Marie is scheduling telehealth and in-person appointments during regular business hours. You can contact her at thelightedpathllc@gmail.com or 505.508.7071
