Getting to know Elizabeth Diaz

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth! Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California in 2019 and have been practicing for 5 years. In my practice, I like to start where my clients are at and am person-centered. My approach I provide education to clients about the cognitive triangle, which explains how our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions affect one another. My clients learn to identify unhealthy or irrational thinking patterns, challenge those thoughts, and develop healthier, more rational ways of thinking. Additionally, I use Motivational Interviewing (MI). With MI, clients build their motivation to change unwanted behaviors. In session, we explore ambivalent feelings and develop a plan to change behaviors. My focus I enjoy working with adults and the elderly population. My clients are committed to therapy to improve coping skills and develop a support system. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and the elderly, supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and substance use. My communication style I am empathetic and a good listener. My clients will feel heard, understood, and validated. My journey to mental healthcare I am passionate about mental health and want to help others work through their challenges. I aim to be a guide in teaching coping skills and fostering a positive outlook on life. My goals for you During our second session (after intake), we focus on setting SMART goals. Having SMART goals helps us stay focused in session and determine when clients are ready to graduate from therapy. My first session with you The first session will be the intake assessment, allowing me to understand why you are seeking treatment.
