Many struggle with anxiety and depression, and this is not uncommon. Whether it be nervousness, sadness, relational difficulties, or feeling like we aren't where we are "supposed to be" in life, there are many obstacles that cause us to feel "stuck." My job as a therapist is to help you get "unstuck" by aiding you in better understanding the underlying factors contributing to these difficulties, many of which are often rooted in thinking habits and relational patterns. My primary focus is on anxiety and depression, and how the combination of unhealthy thinking and unhealthy relational patterns cause us to feel anxious and depressed.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who takes an integrative and holistic approach when working with clients. With 20 years of experience, I work with individual adults and couples. I am certified in nutrition and integrative medicine for mental health and am clinically trained as a Complex Trauma Professional. I am also a certified yoga teacher. Specializing in trauma and grief, I work with a wide variety of emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual struggles. I believe helping clients make connections with their mind – body – and spirit, as well as with others creates the path to healing and living their most authentic self.

I believe that some of the ways people developed to cope with difficult experiences in early life no longer adaptively serve them; therefore, I help clients gain insight into those patterns and develop new ways of being in order to make positive changes. I also deeply value the impact that family-of-origin and culture have on identity development, interpersonal relationships, and how one views the world. My research focused on examining the relationship between academic stress and physical health symptoms. Visit my website to read more about me and my therapeutic approach www.drlouizalivschitz.com
