Lisa Allred, MSW, LCSW
Lisa started advocating for survivors of violence in college when she founded an Acquaintance Rape Education Program that was incorporated into orientation for all first-year students at Wake Forest University. This led her to working as a crisis therapist for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence and to spearheading movements in NC to change laws on marital rape and stalking.
After getting her LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), she became the Clinical Director for a sexual abuse evaluation program at WFU School of Medicine in Child Psychiatry. After another decade as a clinician and trainer, she switched gears and went into nonprofit management, specializing in program evaluation and development, grant writing and clinical supervision.
To round out her experience, she has spent 25 years providing trainings for therapists, nonprofit leaders, and graduate students at UNC-CH and NCSU. Her training specialties include communication and conflict, stress management (in 10 minutes or less), creating trauma-informed workplaces, motivation, and child development, program evaluation, grant-writing, and clinical practice.
She loves to help organizations and people become more focused and effective by improving their systems and motivating their staff.
