“Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds healed. But if we can survive them, they can even transform us. They can give us the power to endure and the strength to fight” - Batman, 2021. After you've experienced trauma you live in a different universe, you see the world differently. Only what you feel is real. Traumatized minds are directed by emotions and misinterpret logic. I work best with those who are highly imaginative, creative, and ready to confront their past.

Life can throw hard things at us, and we all find ways to cope. Some of those ways work great, and some only for a time. Maybe that's showing up as anxiety, depression, or just feeling like a stranger in your own life lately. Whether you're working through something specific or navigating deeper, more complex trauma, there's room for you here. I utilize trauma-informed and attachment-based approaches like Brainspotting, Somatic Processing and TFCBT, because I want to get to the why behind what you are feeling, not just manage the symptoms. Doing this work can be hard — but I promise we'll find some humor along the way, too.

I work with individuals who find themselves stuck in a pattern of destructive and repetitive behaviors which they cannot seem to stop. Perhaps you've experienced acute or prolonged trauma, such as domestic or sexual violence, and you've learned to cope with alcohol, substances, or harmful behavior. You need someone who will listen and help you navigate through life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation which seem to be all connected to feeling trapped and lost, alone and scared and you just need someone to sit with you and help you heal from the deep pain enveloping you.

Greetings! As a licensed professional counselor and co-founder of The Alternative Center for Therapy, my work is rooted in the belief that our earliest relationships and unconscious patterns continue to shape how we experience the world today. In my practice, I offer a space to explore the deeper emotional layers beneath present struggles—whether it's anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or patterns of self-sabotage. Together, we'll look not just at symptoms, but at the internal conflicts, unmet needs, and defenses that keep them alive.

Sometimes life moves faster than our nervous systems can keep up. Whether you’re facing trauma, burnout, postpartum changes, or the weight of responsibility that comes with serving others, healing begins when you have space to exhale and reconnect with yourself. My clients often long to feel calm, clear, and connected again. I blend evidence-based, somatic, and nature-based therapy to help you move from survival mode into balance and wholeness.

I have a special interest in working with survivors of sexual abuse and other traumatic experiences, as well as women navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, caregiver burnout, relationship concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma.
Many of us can explain exactly why we feel the way we do. We know we're safe. We know it wasn't our fault. We know the worst-case scenario probably isn't going to happen. Yet our body still tenses, our emotions take over, or we find ourselves repeating the same patterns. That disconnect between what your head knows and what your heart and body experience isn't a sign that something is wrong with you—it's often a reflection of experiences your nervous system hasn't fully processed. My work focuses on helping the head, heart, and body come back into alignment so you can experience lasting change, not just insight.

Are you tired of trying to fix yourself, feeling stuck, or reliving old patterns in new situations despite your best efforts? Maybe you even recognize how past trauma shows up in new relationships, but you just don’t know how to work through the trauma on your own? Or maybe you or your partner, despite your best intentions, can’t figure out how to be happy together.
My name is Lisa Parker and I specialize in Complex-PTSD. I work with individuals who have experienced prolonged abuse and/or neglect and their effects. These can include emotional dysregulation, shame, self-perception, and interpersonal difficulties.

Do you ever feel like you’re “too much,” “toxic,” or that you’ll never get it right? Maybe you’ve been told you’re “overreacting” or made to question your own experience. These messages can leave you feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, and disconnected from who you truly are.
I work with individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, and anxiety who feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or relationship difficulties. My role is to walk alongside you—offering a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences, understand your reactions, and reconnect with yourself in a more compassionate way.

While I work with a wide variety of clients, I specialize in folks with a history of trauma, those who have experienced intimate partner violence, and sexual assault.
Prioritizing yourself, and your wellness can be difficult, especially in our turbulent and polarized world. I would be honored to help you create a safe space where you can completely be yourself, and accepted for who that is. I am always amazed at the resilience and potential each of my clients have, and I would love to help you tap into that. I believe that an authentic relationship between the counselor and client is really important for change, and I know I am not always the right fit for all clients, so if I'm not your cup of tea, I will help you find the counselor that is! I also provide PCLC supervision under my practice.

These struggles may be rooted in past trauma or sexual abuse.
Childhood trauma and abuse have a way of following you into adulthood, showing up in your relationships, your self-worth, and the quiet shame you carry when no one is looking. Maybe it was neglect, abuse, or growing up in a home where love felt conditional or unsafe. You try to move forward but the same patterns keep returning. Or you look for help and feel unseen in spaces that are supposed to be safe. You are not broken. You are carrying something heavy that was never meant to be carried alone. Together we will get to the root of what is keeping you stuck and help you find freedom, peace, and a life that finally feels like yours.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
