Lisa Maestri, LCSW, trauma and eating disorder therapist in McLean and Virginia Beach

Therapy that meets
you where you are.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach here. After 25 years of working with people navigating trauma, I've learned that lasting change happens when we honor your unique story - not force you into a specific theory or modality.


We go beyond talk therapy. Words matter, however your body holds what we can't make sense of. I weave in somatic work to help you reconnect with yourself in ways traditional talk therapy

You'll be challenged and supported. I bring warmth and real understanding, along with a gentle push toward growth. No cookie-cutter scripts. Just honest, human connection.

You'll feel seen. From our very first conversation, you'll sense whether we're the right fit, and that connection makes all the difference.
