I'm a neurodivergent trauma therapist with a focus on Autistic folks and ADHDers. We have unique ways of experiencing the world and healing from traumatic experiences. That's why I offer therapy that's tailored to you, incorporating your special interests, preferences, and values into the process. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific struggles and aspirations and aligns with your strengths and learning style.
Whether you're dealing with past traumas or navigating the complexities of neurodivergence, I'm here to support you. Therapy is one of my special interests, so I stay updated with best practices in trauma-informed care and neurodiversity. I use EMDR, CBT, somatic techniques, parts work, and mindfulness, and provide tools for managing daily life.
My goal is to help you better understand yourself, find ways to improve your day-to-day life, and heal past wounds while respecting and celebrating your unique identity. Let's work towards creating a life that's more meaningful and fulfilling, even in the face of adversity. If you're ready to get started, please contact me today. I can’t wait to meet you.
Take the first step to help. Lisa Paer now

I believe therapy should be as unique as you are. That's why I use an integrative approach, using techniques from different therapy models to suit your needs and goals. I use EMDR, CBT, somatic techniques, parts work, and mindfulness, and might also suggest a life hack or two. I want you to leave our sessions with new knowledge, skills, or tools that you can immediately use to improve your life.
