Psychodynamic Therapists in Villa Park, CA

Hi. My name is Elizabeth Iniguez, I'm a licensed clinical therapist. I'm what's considered an integrative or eclectic therapist, which means that I draw upon various modalities, taking what I believe is most relevant from various methods to incorporate into my sessions, depending on what each individual is going through. I enjoy working with a variety of people. I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Trichotillomania, Dermatillomania, Hoarding Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and anxiety disorders.

As a Muslim Afghan American therapist, I possess more than 5 years of experience providing support to individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. This includes working with underprivileged communities, minorities, and other vulnerable populations who require a culturally aware therapist. My expertise extends to assisting individuals, couples, and families dealing with various clinical conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, marital conflict, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD. In my practice, I prioritize evidence-based approaches and employ a culturally sensitive lens to truly understand each individual's unique needs.

I've learned that therapy works best when we can be two real people having an open, ongoing conversation in the room together. I specialize in treating adults, teens and couples struggling with anxiety, stress management, relationships/dating issues, depressive symptoms or simply seeking change. My approach is authentic, safe, supportive, non-judgmental, and I absolutely love the work I do. I will actively work with you toward quick relief of symptoms while we address the long-standing limiting beliefs that have been obstacles to your emotional wellness. Other areas of focus: LGBT, past trauma, self-esteem issues, creative/performing artists, college/grad students, executives.

I utilize a holistic and integrative approach that offers a safe, supportive setting, using dream analysis, mindfulness, art therapy, journaling, meditation and other creative ways leading to an authentic and more rewarding life. From my studies under Rev. Kawakami, deputy head priest of Shunkoin Temple in Kyoto in Mindfulness and Zen Meditation, I have developed this therapeutic approach that treats, balances, and nourishes the mind, body, emotions, and soul. I use a variety of therapeutic perspectives and techniques including Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Jungian, and Mindfulness-based interventions.
