Liza Zipursky, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Liza!

I’ve always been fascinated by people and the stories that shape them, and it’s an honor to support clients as they make sense of their lives. In our work, I’m someone who listens closely, challenges you thoughtfully, and helps you stay connected to what matters most. I’m so excited to meet and learn about you.

My focus

I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

My approach

My approach is rooted in curiosity, connection, and collaboration. We figure out what’s going on together, looking at the emotions and patterns shaping your relationships and experiences. I offer approaches that fit your developmental stage and goals.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, passionate, calm, and curious. All meaningful change comes from feeling safe in the relationship, validated, and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

After 20+ years working with children, I saw how a consistent, compassionate presence can change a child’s life and family from infancy to adulthood. That impact led me to become a therapist, so I could support others with intention. It’s an honor to expand my understanding of how people heal and grow.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by identifying what truly matters to them and working at a pace that matches their readiness. We clarify what change looks like, explore what gets in the way, and how I can help you implement the changes you want to see.

Our first session

The first session is a collaborative conversation where we explore what brought you in and what you want from therapy. I'll ask questions at a pace that feels safe and help identify clear starting points so you know what to expect moving forward.
