Elizabeth Armstrong, LCSW, LISW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth!

Feeling overwhelmed? Sad or stressed? I am here for you.

My focus

I love working with teenagers and young adults. I remember those years and how tough they can be. I really enjoy helping younger people figure out solutions for their future.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy often in order to help you change your thoughts to more helpful ways of looking at your concerns. I am warm and will guide you gently to solutions. I use a little humor when appropriate.

My communication style

I am warm and friendly and a session with me is comfortable. I don't come in with an agenda. I go where you want to go.

My journey to mental healthcare

I heard about an abused teenager, and I felt I would like to help kids that are struggling. I used to work with gang members in Los Angeles, and I loved that job! I learned a lot about working with people from different backgrounds and I think I taught them the same. I received my Master's in Social Work from California State University Long Beach.

My goals for you

I ask you what your goals are, and we decide together how you are comfortable reaching them. This is your journey and we work as a team to reach your goals.

Our first session

I like to get to know you in my first session. What is important to you? Who are you and what do you care about? What do you do in life? I feel that a good relationship builds trust in our work together.
