Getting to know Dr. Elizabeth Finnerty

My name is Elizabeth Finnerty, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Ventura County, California. I hold a PhD in School Psychology from Louisiana State University. I work with adolescent and adult clients statewide via telehealth, as well as in-person in Westlake Village, specializing in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. My approach In therapy, I am committed to tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs. To achieve positive outcomes, I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, alongside trauma-informed, attachment-based, and mindfulness-based approaches. I work from a strengths-based perspective, encouraging clients to discover inner resources while developing healthy, adaptive coping strategies and skills to reduce symptoms. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for teens and young adults eager to make positive changes in their lives-whether overcoming trauma effects or learning to cope with stress from life transitions. These challenges often present as PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, self-harm, behavioral issues, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal conflict. My communication style My communication style is authentic and warm. I value a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship and pride myself on fostering a non-judgmental, secure environment where individuals can comfortably embark on their healing journey. My first session with you The first session focuses on building an initial connection, assessing goodness of fit, and establishing trust. I will ask questions to gather information about distressing symptoms or impairments, how you've been feeling recently, what you hope to gain or accomplish, and together we will establish therapy goals.
