Lisa Rosario , LCSW

Lisa Rosario is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of professional experience. A first-generation Puerto Rican Latinx who was born and raised in New York, she is bicultural and fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Her background and language skills inform a culturally aware approach to therapy and clinical teaching.

She earned a bachelor’s degree from Antioch University in Ohio and completed graduate study at New York University. For the past nine years she has served as an Adjunct Professor at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work and is beginning a doctoral candidacy. Alongside teaching, she has built a long career across diverse practice settings, working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families.

Her clinical work spans a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, eating and body-image struggles, career and life transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication or commitment difficulties.

When beginning therapy she gathers a clear history of symptoms, relationships, strengths, and goals, then collaboratively develops a treatment plan tailored to the most pressing concerns. She outlines options and methods for addressing those priorities and discusses next steps to help clients move forward. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and invites prospective clients to reach out to inquire about availability.
