Lisa Chen, MA, LMFT
Before founding Lisa Chen & Associates, I spent years navigating the intensity of corporate boardrooms and high-pressure industries. As a former executive and marketer, I understand firsthand the demands, isolation, and relational toll that come with high achievement. That experience continues to shape the way I work with leaders, couples, and professionals today.
I built this practice with the same discernment I once brought to executive strategy—curating a team of therapists who embody both clinical excellence and deep emotional attunement. My goal has always been clear: to create a boutique therapy experience where clients feel seen not only for their struggles, but for the extraordinary weight they carry.
