Lisa Taylor (LMHC)

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 10+ years of experience helping teens and adults navigate OCD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and big life changes. I’ve worked in intensive programs (IOP and PHP) as well as private practice, so I know what it’s like to support people who feel stuck in patterns they can’t break. My style is collaborative and straightforward, but also warm and human. I use evidence-based approaches like ERP, CBT, DBT, and behavioral activation, and I believe therapy should feel more like a real conversation than a lecture or a clinical checklist. I especially enjoy working with first-generation and BIPOC young adults who are managing identity, family expectations, and mental health. My clients often tell me I help them face tough challenges while still feeling understood, and yes, we sometimes find moments to laugh because life is heavy enough without therapy feeling like another chore. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but it is also a brave step. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to build the life you want, even when it feels impossible at first.
