About

My approach combines person-centered, non-pathologizing and feminist approaches through a social justice lens. I strive to be weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, neurodivergent affirming, and LGBTQIA2+ allied.

How I work

I take an integrative approach to therapy founded in humanistic approaches that combine person-centered, non-pathologizing and feminist approaches through a social justice lens. I draw from acceptance and commitment therapy and narrative therapy. I support clients in a collaborative way, non-judgemental way and believe therapy is a place to feel heard and understood.

Do you have a sliding scale?

Accessibility is important to me and I offer a limited number of lower cost sessions available. Consider inquiring about sliding scale if you: have low income, receive social assistance, have significant debt, have medical expenses not covered by insurance, or have limited earning power due to discrimination based on disability/neurodivergence. Consider paying usual rates if you work full time or part time by choice, experience privilege based on race or gender identity, or have insurance.

Lisa RutledgeMay 16, 2025

Can you be my therapist and dietitian?

Unfortunately, no. There are laws and guidelines that can limit the different services health professionals can offer a client. At this time, I can only work with people through one service at a time.

My therapeutic style and approach

includes an eclectic approach that draws from humanistic, person-centred, & non-pathologizing approaches through a social justice lens. I drawn on theories such as acceptance and commitment therapy and narrative therapy. I see therapy as a place to talk about what is on your mind, a space to feel heard and understood, and a way to better understand your struggles. Offering weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, neurodivergent affirming, LGBTQIA2+ allied care is important to me.

Lisa RutledgeMay 16, 2025

What does a typical session look like?

The first few sessions of therapy or nutrition support look similar. In a relaxed and conversational manner, I will inquire about you, your life, and your concerns. The first few sessions are dedicated to getting to know one another and to start to build trust between us. We can talk about anything that is important to you and on your mind. People usually consult with me regarding disordered eating, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, health concern, anti-fat bias, and body image concerns.

When I'm not working, you can usually find me

watercolor painting, needle felting, reading, cooking and eating!, and sharing 80s and 90s nostalgia with her children (and more recently through cross stitch).
