LISA SMITH

Lisa Smith is a grateful woman. She would like to thank her husband Mickey, Colleen McCarty, Susan Autran, Juilane Patterson, Susana Waimin, Michelle Curley, Bonnie Davis, Doug Meyer, Mario de la Nuez, Cymbria Hess, Heather Britt, Planet Dance, Tom Blumena, John Burgess and all of the other wonderful people who have shared their expertise and lovely spirits with The Living Dance Project. The April 18, 2008 performance event was inspired by the many cancer journeys that have touched the lives of Lisa and her family; it was our first fundraiser to benefit LIVESTRONG, The Lance Armstrong Foundation. Although Lisa was trained in classical ballet earlier in life, she dances now for fun, physical and spiritual health. Professionally, Lisa is a psychotherapist with degrees in psychology and clinical social work. She serves as Director of Bariatric Behavioral Health Services at Georgetown Community College. Her clinical practice and research has focused on body image and eating problems; she specializes in behavioral health services for bariatric populations. Lisa and her longtime husband Mickey are the parents of three young adult daughters.
