Lisa Braun, LCSWR, SEP

I am licensed clinical social worker with 20 + years of experience. I am dedicated to helping adults (18+years old) resolve anxiety, depression, trauma and loss.

I see therapy as a series of steps. First, I create an accepting, compassionate environment. Next, I seek to understand your concerns from your viewpoint. Together, we become curious about your experience to see how your past affects your present experiences and relationships (Friends, family, self, work, body etc). We examine all aspects of your life using a clear framework to address your concerns. My approach blends body-based awareness, targeted interventions, and talk therapy. I use EMDR, IRF, and Somatic Experiencing. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps process memories that shape negative beliefs about yourself or the world to replace negative self beliefs with a more reality based understanding. Inner Relationship Focusing helps to resolve internal conflicts and lower the volume of your inner critic. Somatic Experiencing helps to settle an over active nervous system, build resilience and supports the ability to respond rather than react. All of these modalities can bring relief, clarity, and new coping skills, new ways of thinking, being, and connecting that support lasting positive change
Each of us is a unique, complex multidimensional being with our own set of strengths and weaknesses. I look forward to getting to know all of these aspects of you. My goal is to help connect your body, mind, and spirit. If you’d like to talk, please reach out and share your story. I offer free 15-minute consultations so we can see if we’re a good fit. Your journey is important. I’m here to support you in a safe, non judgemental space.
