Elisa M. Avila
Introduction
My name is Elisa M. Avila (she/her/hers/ella), and I am a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish) providing treatment to children, adolescents, families, and adults. My specialties include treatment of anxiety, depression, family conflict, self-esteem, and trauma to name a few. I utilize various treatment approaches and work where the client is at by including their interests to meet their goals. My main goal is to encourage clients to express themselves and know that they are in a judgment-free zone. I work with clients to help them become independent and take control of their lives as they venture into the future. Creating a world where communication is key, we aim for peace and try to understand each other is my number one dream. I can't wait to work with you. Let's make it happen!
