Getting to know Elizabeth Santos

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth! Hello, my name is Elizabeth Santos, and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I earned my Master?s in Counseling from San Francisco State University. I am here to support you on your journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal transformation. I provide a collaborative and safe space for my clients to be heard and validated as we work through life challenges, stressors, and trauma. My approach I utilize innovative culturally and spiritually grounded practices and experiential clinical modalities based on a trauma-informed and attachment/relationship-based lens. My focus I have extensive experience helping individuals manage mental health and physical issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, work burnout/stress, grief/loss, and relationship challenges. My communication style My therapy communication style is aimed at creating a safe environment for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My journey to mental healthcare My motivation to become a therapist stems from my early childhood experiences, which were at times very challenging and stressful. As a child of immigrant parents, I needed to grow up quickly to support my parents in navigating the norms and expectations of their new home?my birthplace. I gravitated to this field because I did not receive the support and guidance growing up as a first-generation Latina, and I want to be that support for those who feel marginalized or are struggling with life experiences. My goals for you I assist clients in exploring their overall needs and support them in organizing their thoughts and feelings by building their psychological capacity to reach their goals. My first session with you During our first session, it is important for me to understand your presenting issue(s) and your commitment to the therapeutic process. This all begins with establishing trust and a collaborative alliance, which can take up to 2?4 weeks.
