Elizabeth Bravo

My clients describe me as:

Warm, authentic and funny. I am a casual person which often helps clients relax into the therapeutic space, while still maintaining professionalism.

Something to know about my approach is:

I am direct while still maintaining gentleness. Experiences in the past often influence current struggles and hinder progress, so reflection is routinely utilized. Though therapy requires vulnerability, it should also feel good, so expect some humor.

Together, we will:

Explore goals and challenges that bring you to treatment, and brainstorm ways to make effective change. We will examine how your environment, relationships and experiences influence how you exist in the world, and serve as barriers or strengths.

I specialize in working with people who:

have been impacted by their family of origin and need support with identity development, maintaining healthy relationships, and improving communication. I excel in helping clients identify goals and priorities, and how to stay focused on them.

I became a therapist because:

I wanted to work with youth in the Juvenile Justice System. I worked with youth on Probation and families involved in Social Services for a decade.
