You are ready to find a better way to end your emotional and physical pain. Successful clients of EMDR learn to change old habits of thoughts and behaviors so you can have a life with less suffering and more joy. Let me help you heal and grow with love, compassion and humor! Studies in EMDR psychotherapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. EMDR therapy has been recognized as an effective form of treatment by the World Health Organization and the Veterans Administration. Email me today. I will try to return your emails within 48 business hours.
My specialty areas include using EMDR and other evidence-based treatments to work with clients to recover from trauma, grief, and chronic pain/illnesses. This includes clients that have experienced medical and dental trauma as well as the long term effects of COVID.
I schedule appointments Monday -Thursday 9AM- 5PM. I offer in person therapy for people who are fully vaccinated and boosted. I also offer tele-health sessions for those who are unvaccinated or are unable to do in-person sessions.
Take the first step to help. Lissa Perkins now

I know it can be nerve-wracking to meet a new therapist. You are very brave to take this step towards healing. At our first appointment I will answer any questions that you have about therapy and EMDR specifically. We will discuss the type of therapy I will use, why I chose this and how long it might take to reach your goals. This includes a preview of EMDR and how we will track your progress.

In the first session we will talk about Why you are starting therapy Now what it would like if you felt better. We will work together to determine which type of therapy will be the most effective. For example, if you have chronic pain, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy would be a first choice. If you have traumatic experiences, EMDR would be a good place to start.
