Elizabeth Galdamez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth!

Need someone to vent to and not feel judged. I am that person and you're at a safe place. I help client's feel more confident, grounded and motivated to improve on themselves.

My focus

My client's age ranges from as young as 7 years old to the age of 65 years old. Each individual person is unique in his/her own way and I work with them that way. Working on your pace/needs and readiness. Let's add onto your coping mechanisms.

My approach

I use mindfulness, motivational interviewing, CBT and psychoeducation approaches. I will work with you as a team in order to reduce your overall mental health symptoms.

My communication style

I practice active listening, am understanding, and offer feedback/reflection of what I heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to help people of color, people who are misunderstood, people who are judged by the way they look, underprivileged community, undocumented, minorities and people of color. I want to help remove that stigma away of mental health.

My goals for you

We work on your goals in mental health and brainstorm what is realistic in your lifestyle. We will set goals that are achievable and take the necessary steps to achieve them.

Our first session

Our first session will be introduction and building rapport. We will discuss what brought you into therapy and how I might be able to help you throughout your journey.
