Elizabeth Ekeruo, Psy.D.

Therapeutic Approach
When working with clients, I aim to create a welcoming and safe place where clients feel empowered to work toward their identified goals. As an integrative therapist, I utilize techniques from emotion focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to assist client’s with exploring their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I also utilize positive psychology and relational modalities in my clinical work to help foster a supportive and collaborative relationship with clients. I perceive clients as whole and unique persons that are physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually impacted by their environment and interpersonal interactions. I enjoy learning about each clients unique strengths in the process of overcoming the challenges that life presents.
