Parissa Blake, PsyD, LMFT

My communication style

Dr. Parissa Blake is recognized for her warm and supportive tone. She acts as an educator and helps the client feel more confident and independent by naming what will help the quality of their lives and relationships. She collaborates and educates clients to form the best goals and habits.

My journey to mental healthcare

Dr. Parissa Blake found her first college course in psychology to be the most fascinating topic she had ever studied. She has since never stopped learning, training, and teaching from her undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies. Her internships and jobs always align her with the field's top experts and evidence-based care in community.

My goals for you

The goal-setting approach is measurable and realistic, and the therapy plan and method are explained through the evidence-based model of care. The client will know, for example, what the steps of Prolonged Exposure for the reduction of trauma-related symptoms are, and what sessions and the assignments will look like.

Our first session

Dr. Parissa will arrive at the initial session, ready and motivated to help. She will go over all the intake forms ahead of time and will start conceptualizing the client's history and their stated goals for therapy. Dr. Parissa will help the client learn skills to meet their challenges or symptoms with different/additional perspectives.
