Elizabeth De La Torre, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth!

I provide a warm, empathetic, and safe environment to process, analyze, reflect, and learn something new.

My focus

I work with individuals coping with depression, anxiety, major life transitions, relationship problems, childhood trauma, self-esteem issues, and parenting challenges.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Informed Therapy, tailoring proven interventions to your unique needs. My goal is to equip you with practical tools to navigate life's challenges while honoring your experiences.

My communication style

I create a warm, empathetic space where you can process emotions, analyze patterns, reflect on experiences, and discover new insights about yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a first-generation Latina and eldest daughter, I learned to mask my emotions and push forward. Discovering psychology in college validated my feelings and ignited my passion for helping others recognize they're not alone. I'm an avid learner who loves sharing tools and hearing your story.

My goals for you

I believe building a positive, healthy therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work together. From there, we collaborate to create goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time discussing what brought you to therapy and how it impacts your daily life. This session is about building rapport and seeing if we connect. I get to know you and your needs before making any assumptions.
