Online Trauma, Grief & Somatic Therapy In California
Heal Trauma & Complex Grief Without Spending Years in Talk Therapy.
I'm Lisa S. Larsen, a California-born healer. For over twenty years, I've worked with teens and adults navigating trauma, grief, and the particular weight of being LGBTQ+ or misunderstood in a world that wasn't built for us.
To help you heal, I offer specialized EMDR therapy, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, and Somatic Stress Release for adults and teens across California ready to release what the mind and body have been carrying.
​
I’ve been serving Californians throughout the state online since before the pandemic, and I know it to be effective and powerful.
​
I also know that finding a therapist who actually gets it—where you don't have to explain yourself—can feel like a quiet relief all by itself.
​​​If you often feel judged or misunderstood for how you express your feelings, you're not alone. I know what that's like, and it hurts tremendously.
If you're here because something heavy is showing up in your life, you're in the right place. If you'd like to discuss your needs and how I can help you, please call 661-233-6771 or click the button below to schedule a free, no-pressure 15 minute consultation by phone, at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Let's find out how I can help you feel better!
What therapy with me looks like:
You may have tried talk therapy and found it somewhat helpful, but your emotions and body still respond despite your new understanding and corrected thinking. That’s because real healing is not about learning a script or fixing a surface problem. Cumulative stress and trauma don't just live in your head; they get locked in your nervous system.​
​Instead of just addressing thoughts or changing the words you use to relate to yourself and the world, we use deep, body-based tools to help your whole system actually process the pain and let it go:
​
-
EMDR & Flash Technique: Reprocess heavy trauma and distressing memories safely, without needing to relive every detail.
​
-
Somatic Stress Release: Heal the nervous system by allowing your body to exit chronic "fight or flight" and settle into genuine safety and rest.
​
-
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy: Access your inner strength and wisdom, bypassing the overthinking mind to reach deep subconscious resources regular talk therapy can't touch.
​
-
Focus on Solutions: Spotlight your natural strengths, amplifying practical ways to help you thrive.
Clients have described me as warm, calm, and nonjudgmental — someone they don't have to perform for. They often tell me my read on what's going on is 'spot on.'
If you’re curious how I can help, let’s start here: A free 15-minute phone consultation. No pressure to commit, no forms to fill out first. Just a chance to feel whether this is the right fit.
I love working with...
Teens and adults who are tired of pretending to be okay for everyone else's sake. I enjoy helping people who have tried talk therapy before and are ready to go deeper without having to relive every detail.You deserve to feel and express your emotions, however they may show up.
Teens (12+) & Adults carrying trauma, childhood wounds, or the heavy toll of minority stress
Grief: Recent loss or old grief that never resolved. Unsupported, disenfranchised grief
Adult and teen survivors of trauma who can still feel the turmoil and stress in their bodies
