Therapists in Santa Monica, CA

I help individuals work through their anxiety, depression, relational issues, and disordered eating. Everyday might feel like a steep, endless hill. It's overwhelming and no one really understands how bad you're struggling. You want change and to feel better but don't know where to start. The stigma against mental healthcare is so real. But you don't have to be in that alone; together we can identify the goals you want to achieve, alleviate your current symptoms, and work towards a meaningful, fulfilling, and thriving life. I help empower you to make small steps towards lasting change.

The most important thing in working together is building the foundation of a trusting relationship, where you can feel safe to talk openly. You know your life better than anyone else does. Therefore, we will hold great respect for your self-wisdom. Together with my professional knowledge and experience, we can work to help you discover how to live life in a way that is most fitting for you. NOTE: a professional relationship will not be formed until we both agree to do so, and only during/after an initial meeting. Any prior contact is for informational purposes only.

Why therapy? Why assessment? In both, my approach identifies barriers and builds bridges to success. Therapy may address personal issues (e.g., anxiety/depression/OCD, sleep problems, living one's values) or supporting a family member with neuropsychological issues (brain injury, Alzheimer's, seizures, ADHD, LD). Assessment may help answer: Why is my child struggling in school? How does their neurological history affect daily performance? Is my child gifted? What kind of accommodations can we get for ADHD/learning disabilities/autism? I had a diagnosis as a kid, what does that mean for me now? Visit:www.elizabethjerisonterryphd.com

When I begin a session with a new client, I want to present myself as a real person. I want to create a situation where the client feels comfortable being him/herself and communicating whatever is going on. I will observe closely, being as present as possible. I will listen carefully and respond when appropriate. I may ask questions or make interpretations about what we talk about, but most importantly I want the client to feel free to say whatever is on his/her mind. I want to establish a trusting relationship so we can begin to work on this person’s issues.
