Grief counselors and therapists in Boise, ID

Hi, I’m Lisa Bell, and I’ve spent the last 25 years working with kids and families through some of life’s tougher moments. I enjoy supporting children between ages 3 and 12, and I work to make therapy feel safe, welcoming, and even a little fun—for both kids and parents. I bring a trauma-informed lens to my work with children (ages 3+)

and adults.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Idaho with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Sofia University, where I specialized in Transpersonal Psychology. My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient and residential treatment settings, as well as private practice telehealth care.

Many of the clients I support are looking not only to reduce distress, but also to better understand themselves, improve emotional regulation, and create a more grounded and meaningful life.

I provide care through a structured, ethical, and collaborative lens, with a strong focus on clinical clarity, treatment planning, and measurable progress.

As a board certified and licensed clinical professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. Seeking help can be a hard initial step and I am glad you are here. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship problems.

I believe deep life transitions require seasoned support. I have had the privilege of working with diverse people through some of life’s most vulnerable and complex chapters. My professional journey includes:

12+years of acute clinical care:

Navigating complex mental health challenges and acute crises, providing a deeply grounded foundation in crisis stabilization, emotional safety and trauma oriented care.

8+ years of Systems & Community support:

Working extensively with individuals and families to navigate life transitions, behavioral health challenges and shifting dynamics that just happen in life.

Specialized Practice:

I have decided to focus this deep well of diverse experience on grief, loss caregiver support, serious, chronic, or terminal illness and end of life transition.

This diverse background means that no matter how chaotic, heavy or complicated your situation feels, you are resting in safe, seasoned, and entirely capable hands.
