create this platform as a resource and community for those seeking support and understanding.
Why: M. Elizarraras Holistic Healing & Wellness Therapeutic Services is more than just a service; it’s a reflection of my commitment to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and integrating modern interventions and holistic practices.
Here, you’ll find a blend of personal experiences, evidence-based insight, and practical tools to navigate the complexities of mental well-being.
My Mission: I am on a mission to foster a community that encourages open conversation about mental health, promotes self-care and provides valuable resources for anyone on their mental health journey. Together, we can create a supportive environment where no one feels alone in their struggles. Holistic?
Credibility? or Credentials: Aside from my personal experiences, I hold a Bachelor in Social Work from Humboldt State University, and Master degree in Social Work, concentration in Mental Health from University of Southern California. My personal, education and work experience has equipped me with the knowledge to provide credible and compassionate insight into mental health.
My Experience: Over the last 15 years, I've provided compassionate care and evidence-based interventions across diverse settings, from integrating behavioral health services into primary care, conducting virtual counseling sessions…. Skilled in crisis intervention, individual, group, child, and family therapy, I've honed my expertise in therapeutic modalities like CBT, EMDR and others. Committed to continuous learning, I engage in regular training to stay updated with developments in psychotherapy. My dedication extends to suicide prevention, early intervention services, and community outreach initiatives, all driven by a deep empathy for those I serve.
I have extensive experience in trauma-informed care, suicide prevention and early intervention.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of delving into a wide array of mental health interventions, each contributing to my holistic approach in supporting individuals on their path to healing.
My experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has equipped me with effective tools for addressing trauma and anxiety, while my training in Grief and Loss has enabled me to provide compassionate support to those navigating the complexities of loss.
As a certified Small Group Dinosaur Leader and Incredible Years Parent Group Leader, I've facilitated transformative group experiences, fostering emotional intelligence and resilience in children and parents alike. My proficiency in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) has empowered me to help individuals challenge negative thought patterns and process traumatic experiences. Moreover, my extensive training in crisis intervention, suicide assessment, and de-escalation techniques underscores my commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of those in crisis. From Motivational Interviewing (MI) to Play Therapy Techniques and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I continuously strive to integrate diverse modalities tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Through ongoing education and hands-on experience, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, effective support to those in need.
Although I consider myself to have knowledge in several treatment interventions, I utilize a combination of strength based and behavioral interventions, of which include Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy with Choice Theory, as well as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT). My approaches to counseling are grounded in holistic wellness and choice theory. Holistic approaches include inquiry about different aspects that make up your life and that you believe contribute to making you well or less well. These areas are integrative health approaches that focus on mental, body, spiritual, emotional, and connection wellness.
