Lisa Galles-Candelaria, LPCC, LPC 

Hi, I’m Lisa (she/her).

I started Peacetree because I wanted to create a place where people could feel really heard and supported, especially when things feel chaotic or overwhelming. I’ve met so many people who’ve been searching for answers or just needed someone to listen, and I wanted to be that person who makes a difference.

The name Peacetree comes from the idea of being grounded and rooted, but still growing and moving forward. It’s how I approach my work—helping you find balance, clarity, and peace as you keep evolving.

I’m a big believer in having real conversations. I’ll show up as a person, not just a therapist, and I expect the same from you. My style is down-to-earth, honest, and collaborative. We’ll work together to figure things out in a way that feels right for you.

When I’m not working, I’m hanging out with my husband, dogs, and chickens, or playing (and cheering others on at) soccer. I love cheering people on in general—whether it’s on the field, in life, or in their own personal growth. I also listen to way too many self-help and psychology podcasts and, despite my best efforts, my houseplants are always a little bit of a gamble.

If you’re looking for someone who’s easy to talk to, experienced, and genuinely invested in your growth, I’d love to connect.
