Dr Joe Persinger
Licensed Psychologist
“Dr. Persinger has a clinical practice as a psychologist specializing in adult psychotherapy at the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Santa Rosa, CA.”
About Me
When life's complexities feel overwhelming, I offer adult psychotherapy, guiding individuals through their challenges. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I help you understand and gently release stress held in the body. This approach fosters a deeper connection to your own wisdom. It is ideal for those seeking a compassionate space to explore experiences and build lasting calm.
Approach
I guide sessions by tracking what your body and thoughts are doing together, then translating that into small, practical steps you can try between visits. In the room we move at a steady, collaborative pace—not rushed—alternating quiet tracking of sensations with grounded, problem-focused work to ease sleep, pain, or persistent worry. Homework is brief and experiential, aimed at building new nervous system habits. People coping with long-term stress, loss, or health challenges often find this steady, embodied approach helpful.
