Therapist

If you've spent your life providing, surviving, and holding things together for everyone else, therapy can feel like one more thing to manage. I work with men and working people who are tired of feeling anxious, isolated, or stuck, and who want to feel like themselves again. As a bilingual therapist raised in San Antonio, I understand the pressures of low wages, generational trauma, and the expectation to keep pushing no matter what. Whether you're navigating relationships, identity, or stress that never fully turns off, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Macheda Larosiliere

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Macheda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. Many of my clients are used to being strong for others but privately feel stretched thin, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to keep carrying everything they’ve been holding. Therapy can be a space to pause, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

Through my experience in healthcare and individual settings, I’ve supported people and families during some of life’s most challenging and vulnerable moments. As an immigrant, I also understand how culture, identity, family expectations, and lived experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate change. I recognize that emotional struggles do not happen in isolation, and I take care to understand the full context of your experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. If you're navigating a chronic illness, caring for a loved one, coping with grief, or adjusting to a major life change, you may be carrying more than most people realize.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a background in medical social work, I've spent years supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging seasons. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your world changes unexpectedly or when you're constantly putting others' needs before your own.

My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can feel supported, understood, and less alone as we work through whatever you're facing together.
