Leisa Watkins

Leisa is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and Idaho Family Court reunification therapist who works with couples, families, and individuals with trauma. She believe in strengthening communication skills and addressing traumas through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy to promote healing and better functionality in the unit or individual. In her years of experience working with families and couples, she has found that issues resulting in relationship trauma stem from a lack of strong communication skills between the participants in the relationship and that most individual trauma related issues stem from unhealed and unresolved traumas that impact a person’s ability to function from a place of health in the present. Trauma is not something you have to continue to live with and it is possible to live a life free from traumatic responses and the aftermath of triggering behaviors.  You can be a better you through trauma work.

Leisa has successfully assisted clients to heal from sexual and abuse traumas, medical trauma, workplace traumas, and have experience with traumas that have developed into dissociative disorders. She is a certified EMDR therapist and a Consultant with EMDRIA ( EMDR International Association). She is also an Idaho Supreme Court trained mediator. Conflict resolution is also one of my strengths. She employs elements of narrative, CBT, DBT, IFS, and family systems therapies as well as EMDR therapy to assist her clients.

You have the potential to be the best possible you, individually and in your relationships, where past traumas no longer dictate your interactions with others in your life. Leisa looks forward to helping you on your journey.
