Elizabeth Serrato

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable while remaining honest. My goal is for you to feel comfortable talking to me about anything so that we can face your negative thoughts and fears in order to break ground for positive change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was a backward process because I unintentionally discovered my passion for helping people. I thought I wanted to be a high school teacher, so I first worked at a school where I found that my conversations with the teens were becoming less and less about science and more about their personal problems.

My goals for you

I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and therefore, clients should have the autonomy to set their own goals. I am here for support and guidance through the process of helping define what these goals may be for you. This often starts by building trust and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you’ve been feeling recently, and me asking questions to begin understanding the source of your feelings. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should start.
