Elizabeth Stein, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth!

Are you feeling overwhelmed with a major life transition, recent loss, or juggling multiple roles in life? I'd like to collaborate with you on developing ways to cope and feel healthier.

My focus

I work with adults going through stress and life transitions. Caregivers, parents, those experiencing grief and loss.

My approach

My approach is collaborate and flexible. I like to let you be the expert in your life. I use motivational interviewing to help cultivate your own motivation to change and incorporate CBT and mindfulness.

My communication style

I practice open and clear communication. I value and welcome your feedback at any point during our work together. I also believe in being non-judgmental and providing you with unconditional positive regard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I strongly believe that we all have the capacity to change and grow, at whatever life stage we are currently at. I genuinely enjoy learning from my clients' life experiences and meeting them where they are, in order to fully support them.

My goals for you

I start off by working with you to identify areas that you'd like to work on--including symptom reduction, increasing self-esteem, or increased insight. We'll adjust our goals as you make progress.

Our first session

Our first session will include answering questions and ensuring your comfort. We will review your hopes and goals for therapy and lay out a plan for our work together.
