Lisa Musser

Welcome! I received my graduate degree from Marywood University. I have 13 years of social work experience in residential treatment, child welfare, and psychotherapy. I provide therapy to adults suffering from Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, depression and other psychiatric disorders. 

My therapy approach is creating individualized trauma-focused resolution based on the EMDR rationale that present-day experiences are informed by past experiences. When experiences are positive, we respond well to future similar situations. When experiences are harmful or hurtful the memory is inadequately processed. When similar situations happen in the present we are triggered and our brain and body get hijacked. The past becomes the present. EMDR memory reprocessing diffuses triggers and brings resolution to pain and confusion. The past will be in the past. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space while strengthening the therapeutic relationship. I integrate other modalities based on collaborative individual needs.
