Myself and my furry kids, Posey and Howie! (It was just about impossible to get them to sit still.)

 

Welcome! My name is Lizette Kehrer, and I am a mental health counselor. I’m happy that you have found your way here, and that you are considering counseling. I began my mental health journey long before I began working in this field. Like many of you, I have been through difficult times, which have shaped my outlook on life, my perspective, my worldview. Have you considered your own life story and your own worldview? I would be honored to lead you through discovering your identity and how your history has influenced who you are today.

I bring life experience, as well as professional and educational training into the therapy session. I come to sessions understanding that we all have experienced some level of trauma, and I seek to provide a space where clients feel safe enough to process difficult memories. Growth can occur through our most challenging experiences, and I would like to help guide you through that process.

I used different modalities, or types of therapy, in my sessions, which I determine by what you (the client) needs. No client’s therapy will look exactly the same, because we aren’t the same people. For clients seeking trauma treatment, I find that EMDR and Brainspotting are very effective techniques to process past traumatic events. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotional Freedom Technique can help clients who struggle with regulating their emotions and tolerating distress. Mindfulness and breathwork can be so helpful, and are techniques that I have found personally to be incredibly beneficial. There are many different types of therapy interventions out there, and I know that I can help you find something that makes sense to you. Let’s set up a time where we can talk about what treatment would look like for you, and how we can create a therapy that is unique to your story.
