Lisa Marcelino, LMFT — Therapist in Hawaii

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I primarily use solution-focused and emotion-focused modalities to help clients suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorder. I love helping others and making a difference.

My focus

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, and relational issues.

My approach

I primarily use solution-focused and emotion-focused modalities, but treatment is tailored to fit specific client needs. I believe in creating a safe, judgment-free zone in which clients can feel free to express themselves and process their emotions.

My communication style

I understand that undergoing therapy can be daunting and uncomfortable at times. I offer a safe, judgment-free space to share and process feelings, thoughts, fears, and hopes. I believe that clients possess the skills they need to succeed. They just need help unlocking their potential.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love what I do each day. Helping people in their time of need is so rewarding to me, and I love knowing that I can make a difference each day. I have always wanted to be a therapist, and I am grateful for the opportunity to do the work that I enjoy.

My goals for you

Clients develop goals that are realistic and reachable through collaboration with me.

Our first session

Clients will participate in the information-gathering process in which I get to learn about their unique circumstances and background, and they get to learn about my expertise and ways that I can help. Through this process, I begin to learn about the presenting issues and can then describe to the client what treatment will look like.
