Lisa Hackney
Hi, I’m Lisa,
I am a Level Two Nationally Certified Biblical Counselor through the Association of Biblical Counselors, and I’m also certified in Marriage and Family Counseling as well as Biblical Life Coaching through Life Breakthrough Academy.
For over 20 years, I’ve walked with women and families in the addiction recovery community, and I continue to serve there today. I also serve as the Biblical Counseling Pastor and Care Ministry Director at my local church.
Counseling and coaching aren’t just what I do they’re my calling. My heart is to help people honestly evaluate where they are, discover where the Lord is leading them, and walk in freedom as they heal, thrive, and step into their God-given identity. My deepest joy is watching the Holy Spirit bring truth, clarity, and peace to the lives of those I get to walk alongside.
When I’m not in session, you’ll usually find me with my husband, Erin we’ve been married for over 10 years and our adult son and two daughters, who continue to inspire me every day.
Why By the Hem?
The name By the Hem comes from Mark 5:27–29, where a woman reached out in faith and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment — and was instantly healed. That story has always reminded me that true healing comes only from Him.
When you come to By the Hem, my prayer is that you, too, will experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ — the same freedom, restoration, and renewal that only He can give.
I believe God’s Word has given us everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). My role as a counselor and coach is to bring you back to that truth again and again. Whether you’re carrying pain from the past or searching for clarity for the future, I’m here to walk with you — pointing you to the One who can heal, restore, and guide you every step of the way.
