Hello, I'm Beth Elliott-Staggs, a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist . I've been providing individual, couples, and group therapy for over 20 years. I feel privileged to work in this field and am inspired by my clients' courage and growth. When providing therapy, my first goal is to build rapport with my client(s) by providing a safe, comfortable, and non-shaming environment. From there, I invited the client to guide the sessions and offered my wisdom and expertise if necessary. My belief is that we all have our own innate wisdom about how to heal if given the opportunity and support.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist , I'm here to support you in navigating life's challenges. Whether you're dealing with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Trauma, or any other issues, I'm here to help.

Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies.

When your relationship is falling apart, nothing is more painful, lonely, and frightening. Your once best friend is now a foreign stranger, and the foundation of a family you participated in building is falling apart right before your eyes. The pain can become unbearable, and the best you can do is manage the pain so it doesn't completely destroy you. In these moments finding a solution may elude you or seem to be beyond your ability. Seeking a professional during such times can help you, and the ones you care most about in this world, get your life back on track.

Eunice Wright, LMFT. My passion is working with children to support them in understanding their emotional experiences, learn and utilize skills/tools, and to strengthen relationships. I emphasize building a relationship in a safe and trusting environment that is also playful and fun to meet the child where they're at, begin healing, and making progress towards goals created. I enjoy working with children ranging between 0-12 years old and can support with anxiety, depression, anger management, mood disorders, divorce, trauma, relationship dynamics, and abuse.

Most people experience times or situations in their life in which professional support is needed. I believe I offer comfort and support in a nurturing way of meeting you right where you are, without judgment, being open, and creating a trusting environment to facilitate the desired growth and change within the individual and/or the family . I have worked with multiple populations; teens, adult individuals, couples, and families and have experienced the journey with people who make positive life changes and the joy of watching the changes as the client decides to take the time to learn better to do better with a new skill set.

It is my belief that we generally want to feel safe, secure and connected to ourselves, our families/friends and our communities. Obstacles to doing so can include circumstances outside of our control and also the results of our own learned patterns and behaviors. Therapy is an integral part of healing past trauma, validating one's thoughts/feelings/emotions, identifying dysfunctional patterns of engagement and learning new skills to cope. Through work with a therapist, it is possible to shape a life and relationships that include confidence, calm and presence that is so often missed in the busyness of society today.
