Meet Lisa Macedo

Hi, I’m Lisa Macedo, LMFT, a licensed therapist with 15 years of experience. I spent 6 of those years as a Clinical Director at a group practice in the heart of Silicon Valley, hiring and supporting therapists on their clinical journey.   I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and create sustainable, meaningful change.

I’m a first-generation American, my roots trace back to the Azores Islands, a beautiful and unique region of Portugal that continues to ground me. That deep connection to my heritage influences the culturally sensitive lens I bring to my work and life.​
 

My Approach

My therapeutic style is warm, insightful, down to earth style that is grounded in evidence-based practices. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, burnout, life transitions, and first generation born in the US or adults acculturating to the US customs. 

​

I Integrate:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

• TEAM-CBT 

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Feedback Informed Treatment 

​

I’m also certified by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and the International OCD Foundation.

Outside the Therapy Room

When I’m not working, you’ll find me walking outdoors, exercising, or spending time in nature—especially when the sun’s out. I believe in staying grounded through movement and connection, and I encourage clients to find their own version of what keeps them well.
