Cultural Identities

About Lizdebeth Naima Elizalde, AMFT

Sessions all over California over Telehealth & in Person in Santa Barbara. 

My ideal client is anyone at the age of 12 and older who is ready to stop feeling stuck and start healing. I specialize in EMDR and trauma-informed care, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space for those navigating depression, anxiety, grief, suicidal ideation, life transitions, or any form of abuse. What sets me apart is my deeply culturally sensitive practice. As a bilingual, first-generation Mexican-American therapist, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to every session. I also connect clients to community resources when needed. Healing is possible, let’s walk that road together.

I take on an eclectic / holistic approach because I believe that every person who walks through my door is truly one of a kind. My approach is never one-size-fits-all. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities to meet you exactly where you are, tailoring our journey to fit your unique story, strengths, and needs always taking culture into account.

Taking the first step takes courage, I see you! I have experienced it myself. I offer warm, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed therapy in English and Spanish for ages 12 and up. We can meet in office, via Telehealth, or any other private, fitting location. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m ready when you are!
