Lisette Morales-Santos

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, and periods of feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.

I value creating a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what you are experiencing without judgment. Therapy with me is collaborative, we will work together to identify what is important to you, better understand patterns that may be getting in your way, and build on the strengths you already have.

My approach to therapy is individualized, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices. Together, we will explore patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be impacting you, while identifying your strengths and what matters most to you. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, healthier ways of coping, and a stronger sense of confidence and connection to yourself.

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to therapy at this point in your life. We will talk about what you have been experiencing, what feels most important to you, and what you hope to gain from our time together. I will also share more about my approach to therapy, what you can expect from our sessions, and answer any questions you may have.
