Lisa K. Wheeler, M.A., LPC

TRAUMA THERAPIST, WRITER, RETREAT GUIDE, "EXPERIENCER"

MY STORY

Lisa Wheeler is a trauma therapist, writer, retreat guide, and an “experiencer”.  She was born in Austin, Texas where she lived and worked as a licensed trauma therapist until the fall of 2022 when she moved to Montezuma, Costa Rica following the tragic death of her 17 year old son, Spencer.

Lisa became a therapist after going through her own challenge of spontaneous traumatic memory recovery which began when she was 35 years old in 2008.  These memories were accompanied by paranormal experiences which both helped and harmed her at the time.  She continues to experience new memories to this day, and has learned how to live cooperatively with the phenomenon.  She enrolled in a Master’s in Counseling program in 2011 and has worked as a trauma therapist in private practice since 2015.  She found her niche in supporting people like herself who have “non-ordinary” experiences like voices, visions, telepathy, and lucid dreaming, among others.  Her specialization expanded to include abuse survivors and those folks growing up in narcissistic family dynamics.  Grief work and bereavement has also been a natural and consistent feature in her work as a trauma therapist.
In 2024 she expanded her professional life into writing, a lifelong dream.  Lisa writes articles on Substack about her own healing experiences to help give voice and clarity to the experience of living with severe traumatic memory and through loss of a child.  She is currently working on the second draft of her memoir documenting the time period where her abuse memories first returned.

By gently looking into what we are the most ashamed of within ourselves is where we will find our greatest gifts.
