About Me

Leisa Watkins is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and Idaho Family Court reunification therapist who works with couples, families, and individuals with trauma. She specializes in couples EMDR with partners and parent/child pairings. Leisa believes 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 the majority of issues stem from a lack of strong communication skills. She works from a premise that most trauma related issues stem from unhealed and unresolved traumas that impact a person’s ability to function in the present. Leisa has successfully assisted clients to heal from sexual and abuse traumas, medical trauma, work place traumas, and has experience with traumas that have developed into DID disorders. She is also an Idaho Supreme Court trained mediator.
