Joyce Lerner

I am a warm, empathic and experienced therapist who works in a collaborative style that will allow you to draw upon your own strengths and experiences within a safe and non-judgmental environment. One of the most important elements in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist which is built on trust, sincerity and a touch of humor. Together we can explore and change those parts of your life that cause unhappiness. In addition to being certified in Somatic Experiencing, I am also trained in EMDR, Sensorimotor psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and AEDP, all of which treat trauma and also relieve anxiety, depression and other emotions brought on by life changes. These treatment modalities can gently and often quickly help you overcome the obstacles that prevent you from fully enjoying your life. I work with adults and adolescents and provide both short and long term therapy. Beginning therapy can be a daunting experience and I will be happy to talk with you about your concerns and we can decide if I am the right therapist for you.
