Eliza McKenna, LCSW, based in California, from the east coast. I'm a mom and hobby gardener and artist. I approach my practice with Humanism and strive to co-create insight and transformation with clients. I've worked on helplines, in child protection, with the seriously mentally ill, and as a psychotherapist in psychiatric clinics. In addition to private practice, I help run an Employee Assistance Program, and manage a number of employee health programs. My approach to providing therapy moves through the four noble truths. We diagnose the suffering and identify its cause.
In a few sentences, please describe the types of clients you typically work with. What conditions are you most comfortable treating? I conduct individual therapy with adults. I help people gain insight and transformation. The goal is to move from stuck to unstuck.
I treat: Mood, Anxiety, and Psychotic Disorders, PTSD, Trauma Recovery, Substance Use Disorders and Dual-Diagnosis, Alcoholism and Mental Illness in Families, Chronic Pain, Grief, and Stress Management. My humanistic values set a warm emotional tone. I recognize my clients inherent worth and dignity. I offer acceptance and encourage growth.

As a therapist, my communication style is rooted in a deep sense of empathy, presence, and respect for each individual's unique experience. Drawing from Humanistic principles, I prioritize creating an open, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself fully and authentically. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you feel truly understood.

My therapeutic style is eclectic, blending techniques to meet your individual needs. We'll address the body directly with metaphor and imagery, draw from psychodynamic therapy to identify patterns, and use CBT, IFS, and Positive Psychology to enhance well-being. This combination creates an internal landing pad for well-being.
