Navigate uncertainty, reclaim peace. 

Meet Our Founder,
Lisa Treleaven, LPC

I opened Wellspring Counseling and Education, PLLC to be a place of hope and rest for anyone affected by chronic illness or complex medical needs. As a parent of a medically complex child and a person with my own chronic health conditions, I often see people become weary when navigating the medically complex journey. Despite being smart, determined, strong, and compassionate, they begin to feel overwhelmed by life. They feel betrayed by their body.

They are unsure of what abilities they, or their loved one, will have in the future and what that means for their sense of who they are. 

They lose relationships as they aren’t able to attend events and engage in hobbies like they used to.

They face disappointment, anger, or judgement from friends and family who don’t understand the challenges they are facing.

They feel as though their condition put them on an ominous and isolated detour off of the main road everyone else is traveling.

Their condition gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways.  They aren’t the kind of person they want to be. They feel like they are failing at caring for themselves or their loved ones.  And their confidence in their ability to persevere is waning. 

Before they come to see me, my clients wonder if they can just continue alone, despite their sense that it is becoming too difficult. They worry that asking for support would make them look weak. They fear that seeking counseling will lead to further misunderstandings and judgment from others. The isolation is crushing. 

I want those fellow travelers to know: you deserve to find peace even in the midst of difficulty.

You deserve to define and redefine who you are.

Hope is not out of your reach. 

If you want to navigate uncertainty without losing yourself in the process, I’d love to help you.
