Lisa Barry, Psy.D

Greetings, Dr. Lisa Barry; a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the Greater Sacramento, CA area and I have over two decades of experience working with youth and adults in a therapeutic setting. My small private practice allows me the privilege of working closely with my patients to develop a working relationship that supports growth. Expect a great deal of compassion, humor, and homework, as I believe your ability to integrate skills is key to our therapeutic success. My treatment skills include: EMDR for trauma, CBT for behavior change and somatic conditions, Hypnosis for pain management, and EFT for healthy communication in relationships.

My focus is helping you develop your internal resources so you can overcome the challenges you face; inspiring you to live healthier and experience the blessings of wellness. I rely on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT), hypnotically enhanced therapies, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) skills and Bilateral Stimulation to support patients in efficiently achieving symptom relief and their goals. Please note: I expect you to put as much energy into therapy as I do... so be prepared to work.

My approach to treatment is influenced by my belief that each client is unique and has a vast amount of knowledge about themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and the kind of life they would like to lead. I strive to create an environment that is not only therapeutic, but that also fosters a clients willingness and ability to share. I combine my knowledge of research and clinical experience with the client's expertise about themselves to develop strategies and treatment plans that will support your healing and developing of insight. Treatment plans are tailored to your immediate needs and longer term goals whether it be for short term or long term counseling. We work in collaboration to maximize the best possible outcomes from our therapy time together.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are suffering with chronic pain or other health related conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, Autism, anxiety, insomnia, or trauma.
Thank you for taking the time to get better informed about your health provider choices. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you or your family members.
