About Me

baby sea turtles on the sand, one with its flipper over the other's shoulders

I'm Lisa S. Larsen, PsyD, and I help teens, adults, and couples navigate trauma and loss. My goal is to help you feel safe, connected, and at peace by providing tools to recognize your strengths, resolve past pain, and move forward with hope.

​

Unlike approaches that focus only on changing your thoughts, I address both your mind and emotions. We’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, process incomplete memories, and work toward feeling neutral about past experiences.

​

With training in EMDR, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I offer the expertise to help you heal. My experience with trauma, including personal loss, means I truly understand what you’re going through. My focus on attachment and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy helps improve relationships and emotional responses.

​

Let's work together to help you feel more secure and connected in your life.
