My name is Lisa Sojourner. I am a wife and mother to four. I graduated from Rollins with my Masters in Mental Health Therapy and from Florida State University with my bachelor’s in psychology. I have a passion for living with intentionality and authenticity. As a practicing Christian and active member of my Church, I believe that spirituality is an important part of every person’s growth journey.

I work with individuals to help them find peace and fulfillment in their lives. I believe there are times in every person’s life when they need a sounding board: someone to whom they can go and be assured to have a listening ear and a compassionate heart. Coupled with comprehensive clinical training, I love to meet people where they are and work together towards truth, beauty, and goodness in their lives. 

For I know well the plans I have in mind for you… plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Hello! My name is Molly Dawkins. I graduated from the University of South Florida with my Masters in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling, and from the University of Central Florida with my Bachelors in Biomedical Sciences. I have a great passion for loving and serving others with compassion and joy. Through my own faith journey, I have recognized the importance of incorporating spirituality into our daily lives as it brings wonderful comfort and multiple blessings.

As a counselor, I recognize the uniqueness of each person, empowering you to access your strengths and trying my best to understand each of your diverse worldviews. I hope to build a strong relationship with you and walk alongside you on your path towards gaining skills necessary to achieve your goals. Along this path, I will work with you to assist you in recognizing your worth, gaining resilience, and discovering peace and joy. I would love to talk with you about what you’re experiencing and help you start living your best life.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
