Lisa Rosario, LCSW

Lisa Rosario, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), is a New York City clinician with 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, adolescents, and families through a wide range of life challenges. Born and raised in New York as a first-generation Puerto Rican Latinx woman, she brings a bilingual Spanish-English perspective and bicultural understanding to her clinical work. She earned her bachelor’s degree at Antioch University in Ohio and completed graduate study at New York University. In addition to her clinical practice, she has taught as an adjunct professor at the Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work for nine years and is in the process of beginning doctoral candidacy.

Throughout her career she has worked across multiple settings and with diverse concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, pain management, symptoms related to ADHD, sexual and physical abuse, relationship and family issues, addictions, immigration-related stress, grief, and life transitions. Her approach starts with careful assessment of history, symptoms, strengths, relationships, and goals, followed by collaborative development of a treatment plan that addresses the most pressing concerns and everyday impacts. She draws on evidence-informed methods and tailors interventions to each person's needs and preferences.

As a clinician and educator, she emphasizes clear communication about the therapeutic process and welcomes questions about how she works and the methods she uses. She continues her clinical and teaching work in New York while pursuing further professional development.
