Getting to know Lisa Magana

Hi there, I'm Lisa! Hello, my name is Lisa Magana. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Forensic Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I work with adults, focusing on anxiety, stress, life transitions, communication, and relationships. My approach Therapy with me is supportive and evidence-based. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns contributing to your challenges. With practice, helpful thinking and behavior can improve how you experience life. I also blend elements from other approaches including person-centered, mindfulness, psychodynamic, psycho-educational, and strength-based. My focus I have worked with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds and challenges. Currently, I focus on adults ready to realize their full potential and overcome personal challenges. I work to understand you and repeating patterns, and help clarify what you want for yourself. My communication style My style is direct, yet compassionate. I am transparent, use humor, and provide a safe, non-judgmental environment. My journey to therapy I became a therapist to help people experience positive change. I believe therapy offers a unique space for exploration, clarity, and growth. I am passionate about supporting you through that process. My goals for you I begin by learning about you and your challenges. Goal setting is collaborative, identifying what you want to work on. Your goals guide our work and provide a way to track progress. The outcome depends largely on your willingness to engage in the process.
