Lisa Thyer

Lisa is a LCMHC with over 10 years of private practice experience. She received her Masters degree in 2013 from UNC Charlotte and has been a longtime resident of the Queen City. Lisa supports clients who are experiencing difficulties coping with their current reality. These struggles may be triggered by current events but often have their roots in early life experiences which need to be addressed as well to properly integrate them into their current experience and allow healing in the present. To achieve deeper healing and address these challenges as well as past or current traumas, Lisa is also trained in EMDR and offers this treatment in her practice.

“Why do I feel this way?” Client’s often ask me this question and it can be difficult to know exactly why an experience or event affects them so strongly. I offer both traditional talk therapy and EMDR in sessions to support my clients as they seek to understand their lived experience. For most clients, their strong emotional responses to current events is mysterious. My approach is structured and methodical in order to root out underlying causes of emotional distress that might be unknown. In this way, I help the client resolve them so similar experiences in the future can be met with more clarity and resilience.

Therapy is highly personal and my approach is as well. I use a combination of EMDR and traditional therapeutic approaches to help the client to meet the difficulties in their life with more understanding about their emotional responses, tolerance for life’s surprises, and a greater sense of control over themselves.
