Lisa Jacobson, LPC

Lisa Jacobson is a licensed professional counsellor (LPC) based in Carrollton, Georgia, whose practice, Present Life Counseling, is entirely online. She offers therapy for adults in Georgia, Ohio and Tennessee, including preparation for and integration of psychedelic experiences.

Approach

Jacobson holds a master’s in humanistic and transpersonal psychology from the University of West Georgia (2003) and has been in practice for 11 years. Her work is relational and paced to the nervous system, combining somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems parts work and mindfulness, and she prefers growth to diagnosis. Psychedelic sessions are talking sessions before and after an experience: preparation looks at what draws someone to it, their hopes and their support, and integration makes room for whatever comes after. No substances are provided or used. Her other trainings include hatha yoga teacher training, Emotional Freedom Technique and applied astrology, and she is a member of the Association for Entheogenic Practitioners.

Who it is for

She describes her clients as highly sensitive, thoughtful adults dealing with anxiety and overwhelm, repeating patterns in relationships, people-pleasing and boundaries, or life changes such as midlife and grief. For people outside the three states she offers reflective sessions that are not therapy.

Practical details

A 55-minute session costs $200, with limited sliding-scale places that need no application. The practice is self-pay, but she provides superbills for out-of-network claims, and cancellations need 48 business hours’ notice. A free 15-minute call comes first, and most clients start weekly or every two weeks.
