Getting to know Lisette Morales-Santos

Hi there, I'm Lisette! Hi there, and welcome! Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you are not alone. I'm here to meet you with warmth and compassion as we gently uncover what is asking to be seen, understood, and healed. I work with children, teens, and adults using a mindful and collaborative approach to support growth, resilience, and emotional well-being. I specialize in anxiety, stress, life transitions, parenting, and school-related concerns. I'm honored to support you on this journey. My approach My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help explore thought patterns and develop healthier coping skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in making room for difficult emotions while moving forward with what matters most. I also integrate mindfulness practices to build awareness and reduce stress, as well as Solution-Focused Therapy to highlight strengths and focus on achievable steps forward. For those carrying past pain, I incorporate trauma-informed care to ensure a safe, compassionate space for healing. Together, we'll identify the challenges you're facing and work on practical strategies to help you move forward with clarity, resilience, and confidence. My focus I specialize in working with children (ages 10 and up), teens, and adults to manage anxiety, navigate life transitions, address school-related issues, and build emotional resilience. I also support parents with practical techniques to strengthen family dynamics and communication. My communication style I approach each session with warmth, openness, and a non-judgmental demeanor. I believe in creating a safe space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves. My style is collaborative and supportive, helping clients feel empowered as they move toward personal growth and healing.
