Elsa Pearce, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elsa!

My goal is to provide you with the support and guidance you need to promote personal growth, uncover your strengths, and make the behavioral changes you're looking for.

My focus

I love working with children, teens, and adults. Whether it's addressing behavioral concerns, life transitions, navigating relationship conflicts, or improving communication, I'm here to help. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and grief and loss.

My approach

My approach is empathetic, strengths-based, client-centered, and collaborative. I typically use the modalities of CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, and Internal Family Systems. I also offer a faith-based approach for those who want to incorporate their faith into their therapy.

My communication style

I create an open, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can feel safe and heard. My communication style is calm and personable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked as a Mental Health Rehabilitation Specialist and Family Support Counselor, helping children, adolescents, and their families. I continued working with these populations as well as providing therapy to adults of all ages. I have a passion for listening to people, helping them recognize their strengths, and teaching skills.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative approach when setting goals with clients. I believe clients are the experts in knowing what they need to work on in therapy. Together, we can uncover your strengths and create the positive changes you want to see in your life.

Our first session

In the first session, I will listen to what is going on in your life to bring you to therapy. I will ask some questions to gather information, but the first session is primarily all about the client. I will also answer questions that you may have for me as the therapist.
