Lisa FranksClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, ART, EMDR

About

Are you a high-functioning adult who looks capable on the outside but feels emotionally exhausted, on edge, or shut down inside? Many of my clients have experienced trauma, chronic stress, or relational wounds and feel stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed. You may struggle with self-doubt, difficulty trusting your decisions, suppressed anger or guilt, and frustration that past therapy brought insight but not relief. You’re ready to feel calmer, trust yourself again, and experience real change, not just manage symptoms. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, somatic skills, and evidence-based talk therapy. I help you build strategies to regulate your nervous system, reduce reactivity, and shift long-standing patterns. My approach is collaborative, direct, and structured and helps cultivate meaningful, lasting change.
