Yvan Karlos Magana, Therapist

Yvan Karlos Magana, LPC, helps teens and adults across Wisconsin find stability, confidence, and renewed hope as they navigate life’s challenges. As a therapist with LifeStance Health, he provides a calm, structured, and nonjudgmental space for individuals seeking support with concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and significant life transitions. Yvan works with adolescents, adults, and seniors, tailoring care to the unique experiences and goals of each person he serves throughout Wisconsin. Yvan is especially passionate about supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. He understands the vulnerability, uncertainty, and emotional adjustment that can follow an inpatient stay, and he strives to create a supportive bridge back into daily life. His work focuses on helping clients regain emotional footing, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild a sense of control and safety. Grounded in evidence-based practices, Yvan often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness techniques to help clients manage symptoms, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build long-term resilience. He frequently supports LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as men and women seeking help with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or later-life and midlife transitions. In addition to his primary clinical focus areas, he offers additional services to meet broader therapeutic needs. Beyond his clinical work, Yvan values balance and connection. He enjoys going to the gym, spending time with family and friends, and staying active through fitness. When he needs to recharge, he loves relaxing with a good movie or TV show.
