Lisa DE GUZMAN
Licensed Therapist, MSW, LCSW
About
In OCD therapy, we will journey together as you move through fear, allow for discomfort to be present, and reduce compulsive behaviors. I'm a person with lived experience in surviving OCD/anxiety, depression and trauma. I use my sense of self — and my sense of humor — to help you detach OCD from your identity, so you can discover your authentic self and live the life you deserve. You can expect personalized care with treatment that's tailored to your needs. Beyond OCD, I also focus on treating anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, and trauma.

Lisa is an incredible therapist because she helps me every week to become my own ERP therapist. Living with OCD means the most powerful tools are ones you carry with you daily and she has given me countless tools & resources. She is also very caring, a great listener and I manage to laugh every session. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her and I am forever grateful for her!

I had my second session with Lisa today. I had been working with a therapist from here since September but they left. I was so concerned about finding the right match to continue therapy. I am so grateful I am placed with Lisa! She is giving me the tools I need to grow and learn. Lisa is excellent! She knows so much and explained some things to me I did not consciously realize I do as compulsions. I feel so positive about working with Lisa! I am going to get stronger with the knowledge and information she is giving me to fight this OCD. I am very glad to be working with Lisa!
