Getting to know Dr. Leryn Messori

Dr. Leryn Messori (PSY31190) is a licensed clinical psychologist who earned her doctorate from Antioch University, Santa Barbara with a focus on family forensics. She identifies as a cisgender, heterosexual female. Leryn has trained in a variety of settings including a number of roles at a residential and day facility specializing in thought disorders and dual diagnosis (mental health and substance use issues); as a treatment counselor at an adolescent drug and alcohol programs within the juvenile justice system; delivering psychological assessments for the Department of Rehabilitation, and as a counselor within both an elementary and high school. Originally from New Mexico, psychology is her second career. Following a career in the film industry doing research and development for an award-nominated writer and, later, as a junior talent agent, Leryn chose to return to college to pursue a career in psychology and find a career that aligned with her own values more clearly. She completed a bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in sociology from the University of New Mexico. While there she volunteered on a suicide hotline and worked as an assistant to an experiential play therapist.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Leryn’s therapy is grounded in Dialectical Behavior (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), mindfulness, and narrative therapy stances for treatment of anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma. She focuses therapy on the stories we have created about ourselves in the world from our families of origin, our relationships, our work and home experiences, and our traumas. By gently guiding the person to help reframe these stories, actively develop new coping mechanisms, and mindfully explore their own emotional lives she hopes to help the individual find more peace within themselves and reduce problematic behaviors that may have been keeping them stuck.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I usually start out the first few sessions getting to know and understand the client and getting a sense of their history and reason for reaching out for support at this time. We then begin to look at triggers and emotional experiences that occur on a weekly basis to uncover themes and behavioral trends. I tend to be very active in therapy, often providing resources, worksheets, or homework to the client.
