Elizabeth Kang, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth!

I'm passionate about reducing the stigma of mental health treatment because it's normal to experience distress in difficult times and to receive the support you need to recover.

My focus

I work with children, preteens, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families in individual, group, and family therapy settings.

My approach

I utilize evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Existential Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based stress reduction to help you reach your goals.

My communication style

In our sessions, we'll discuss ways to gain control over your distress and develop insight into your past and present experiences. I hope to be your support system and help you emerge empowered and ready to move forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

I first became interested in mental health while supporting my family and friends through their crises.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you reach your treatment objectives, gain control over your distress, develop insight into your experiences, and emerge from our sessions empowered and ready to move forward.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss your current concerns, background, and goals for therapy. We'll also explore which evidence-based practices and techniques may be most beneficial for your unique situation.
