Lisa Taylor

Lisa Taylor is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of clinical experience helping teens and adults work through OCD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and major life transitions. She supports people facing both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns that feel difficult to change.

Her background includes work in intensive settings such as intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP), along with private practice experience, which together inform her understanding of what it takes to help someone move out of stuck cycles.

Lisa’s therapeutic style is collaborative and straightforward while remaining warm and human. She uses evidence-based interventions, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and behavioral activation, and she aims to make sessions feel like real conversations rather than lectures or clinical checklists.

She particularly enjoys working with first-generation and BIPOC young adults who are navigating questions of identity, family expectations, and mental health. Lisa’s clients often say she helps them face difficult challenges while also feeling understood, and she makes room for moments of levity because life can already feel heavy.

Lisa holds Washington licensure as a mental health counselor, reflecting the state’s requirements for clinical practice. She recognizes that starting therapy can feel intimidating and seeks to create a space where clients feel supported, challenged, and encouraged as they build the life they want, even when progress feels impossible at first.
