Lisa Kruse, MA, LPC

Certified Brainspotting Practitioner, EMDR Therapist

Welcome!

I strive to create meaningful change in a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. In my approach to therapy, I strategically and compassionately apply bottom-up processing methods including Brainspotting, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am happy to provide a free 15 minute consultation to answer any questions about my process.

About Me

I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward’s University in 2011 and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Minnesota in 2000. I trained in Somatic Experiencing and EMDR early in my career and in more recent years I have added Brainspotting. I regularly invest time and effort in advancing my skills and training.

I was born in Arizona, grew up in Minnesota, and have also lived in the Chicago area. I now live in Dripping Springs with my husband, daughter, a fluffy cat, and I have 3 young adult sons who live in the area.
