Lily Zmachinski (she/her/ella) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California
(LCSW #121587) who offers therapy sessions in English and Spanish to kids, teens and parents.
Lily comes to Clinical Psychology Solutions with a background in providing mental health
services to immigrant communities in the Bay Area. She recognizes the value of people’s lived
experiences and how their identities (e.g., racial, ethnic, gender, religious) affect how they
manage problems, interact with others, build relationships, and navigate the world each day. Lily
employs a cultural inclusivity lens in her therapy work, and strives to create a safe and nurturing
space where people feel heard and supported.
Lily joins Clinical Psychology Solutions as a part-time therapist providing after school and
evening sessions. During the day, Lily works at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital
and provides behavioral health support to children and teens in the pediatric clinic.
Outside of being a therapist, Lily enjoys running, baking treats for friends and family, and weaving textile projects.

Through a blend of evidence-based techniques and creative interventions, Lily helps clients become more resilient and confident in themselves and their abilities, manage stress, and develop positive coping strategies.
A trauma therapist by training, Lily applies techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic or insight-oriented therapy, and principles of humanistic psychology. She has years of experience working with children, teens, and families who may be navigating challenging situations from childhood trauma and complicated family dynamics to identity and acculturation issues.
While Lily has experience working with individuals of all ages, she specializes in working with children, teens and their parents. Lily recognizes that the journey to self-awareness and growth can be challenging and overwhelming at times and is ready to support clients through the ups and downs in order for each individual to reach their full potential.
