Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Kern County, CA

Hello, I'm Elizabeth Phillips, LCSW, a compassionate and dedicated therapist committed to creating a supportive space for your personal growth and well-being. With expertise in working with both teens and the elderly, I bring a client-centered approach, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to tailor our sessions to your unique needs and goals. I look forward to collaborating with you on your journey towards positive change and resilience. I approach therapy with a client-centered and strengths-based perspective. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions.

I have been practicing as a therapist since 2015. I have worked with individuals who are suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, and attachment difficulties. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have suffered childhood abuse. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic theory. I believe that if there is a leaky pipe in the ceiling, the best approach is to figure out what caused that pipe to leak and repair the traumatic experiences.

Hello, i'm Randy. Despite being a therapist, I believe that no matter how many years of work experience a therapist has, and no matter how many credentials/degrees one has, all of that goes out the window if they don't have the ability to click and level with their clients. Initiating therapy services may feel like a leap of faith; as one would have to initiate a process in which they will be meeting with a therapist who is a complete stranger to them in the beginning. So congratulations on taking the first step for seeking treatment!
