Psychologist

Dr. Lisa Barry


Greetings,

I am Dr. Lisa Barry; a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of California, and administrator of the Pain Management Clinic at Fair Oaks Therapeuticum. I have over a decade of experience working with youth and adults in a therapeutic setting.

My approach to treatment is influenced by my belief that each client is unique and has a vast amount of knowledge about themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and the kind of life they would like to lead. I strive to create an environment that is not only therapeutic, but that also fosters a clients willingness and ability to share. I combine my knowledge of research and clinical experience with the clients expertise about themselves to develop strategies and treatment plans that will support them in healing and developing insight. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual's needs whether it be for short term or long term counseling. This is done in collaboration with the client to maximize the best possible outcomes for therapy.

I specialize in working with individuals who are suffering with chronic pain or other health related conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, or trauma. I rely on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral approaches, hypnotically enhanced therapies, Eye Movement Desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR), and Bilateral Stimulation to support patients in effectively achieving their goals.

I earned my Doctorate and Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D) from the Professional School of Psychology in Sacramento, California and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Studies and Biology from California State University, Sacramento.

Thank you for taking the time to get better informed about your health provider choices. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you or your family members. I can be reached at (916) 962-0222, ext. 3#, or by email at DrBarry@therapeuticum.org.

Kind regards,

Lisa Barry, Psy.D.

L.A. Times: Families of autistic kids sue over cuts in therapy

February 2010: Families of autistic children in eastern Los Angeles County filed a class-action lawsuit today against the nonprofit agency that provides them with state-funded services, alleging that it had illegally discontinued their therapy for the disorder. The agency, the Eastern Los Angeles County Regional Center, informed more than 100 families late last summer that the therapy—known as the DIR model, or "developmental, individual difference, relationship-based"—was being eliminated for their children because of state budget cuts.

The therapy is the basis for a popular treatment known as Floortime, in which a therapist follows a child’s lead during play activities to build communication and social interaction skills.

Brain imaging may help diagnose autism

January 2010: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) process sound and language a fraction of a second slower than children without ASDs, and measuring magnetic signals that mark this delay may become a standardized way to diagnose autism. Researchers at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia reported their findings in an online article in the journal Autism Research.

"More work needs to be done before this can become a standard tool, but this pattern of delayed brain response may be refined into the first imaging biomarker for autism," said study leader Timothy P.L. Roberts, Ph.D., vice chair of Radiology Research at Children’s Hospital.
