Lisa Taylor, LMHC

Lisa Taylor is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) based in Washington with more than ten years of experience supporting teens and adults through obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and major life transitions. She has worked in both intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs as well as in private practice, providing experience with structured treatment settings and individualized outpatient care. Her style is collaborative and direct while remaining warm and human, and she draws on evidence-based methods such as exposure and response prevention (ERP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and behavioral activation to help clients break patterns that feel stuck.

Lisa particularly enjoys working with first-generation and BIPOC young adults who are navigating identity, family expectations, and mental health. Clients often say she helps them face difficult challenges while still feeling understood, and sessions sometimes include moments of levity amid the heavier work. She aims to make therapy feel like a real conversation rather than a lecture, creating a space that supports, challenges, and encourages people as they build the life they want even when progress feels daunting.
