Getting to know Elias Bekele

Hi there, I'm Elias! I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT/93431) with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Southern California Seminary. I am bilingual and bicultural with over 15 years of clinical experience. I utilize my cultural sensitivity to understand my clients' struggles. I use a variety of evidence-based practices to equip you with the skills needed to take on life's challenges. At the same time, I will empower you and help you gain insight into the resources you already have. I incorporate evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy, among others. My goal for all my clients is to provide a safe space where they can experience a powerful transformation in themselves and their relationships. I believe that having an authentic and collaborative relationship is essential in our work together. I am ready now to partner with you. You don't need to have all the words. Wherever you are in the process, I will meet you there, and we can work toward the goals you have to live a purposeful lifestyle.
