A Simple Mission

To help you heal yourself.

Ouro House

Was founded on the belief that both injury and healing happen inside of a system designed to heal itself. Since emotional well-being cannot be separated from the body, relationships, or lived experience, healing happens when the context of a whole person is seen and understood. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this work honors the interconnected nature of your mental, physical, and social health.

The mission is to reconnect

You with your natural, healthy state through integrative, trauma-informed care. This therapy supports both immediate symptom relief and deeper, lasting change. The aim — to help you feel more regulated, connected, and supported.

About Lisa Kent, LCSW

Trauma Therapist and educator

Lisa is a psychotherapist and educator with a deep interest in the intersection of emotional experience, the body, and the ways early environments shape how individuals move through the world. Her work is grounded in the understanding that many patterns, whether in relationships, mood, or physical health, are not random but intelligent adaptations to earlier experiences. Having entered the field through her own experience of trauma-induced chronic illness, she is especially drawn to supporting clients as they unravel the nuanced ways the nervous system holds and expresses what has not yet been processed.

She began her academic path in pre-medicine before completing her Master of Clinical Social Work at the University of Michigan, with clinical training in a suicide prevention setting. Early clinical exposure to acute and complex emotional states shaped the way she understands distress, not as something to be managed at the surface, but as something that carries structure, history, and meaning. She also draws from a decade of study of integrative frameworks, including Reiki, Hermetic science and Kabbalah, which deepen her understanding of how patterns are organized across the nervous system, the body, and lived experience.

Her work focuses on helping individuals develop a deeper, clearer understanding of themselves emotionally, physically, and relationally, supporting not only relief from distress but a more connected and meaningful way of living.
