Elizabeth Stark

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and I have been providing psychotherapy for the last 20 years. I received my bachelor degree in Liberal Studies at Chapman University in 1996 and became a bilingual peer counselor at a counseling center for victims of Domestic Violence. Then in 2003 I acquired my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology at National University . My experience includes individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy in various settings. I have worked with all ages and I have a lot of experience helping clients with different types of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

I utilize many different types of models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing to name a few; however, regardless of what approach I use I am always warm, empathetic, collaborative and encouraging.It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or coping with life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many individuals.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy schedule.

All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they are seeking a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical and effective way to access experienced therapeutic support from wherever the client is located.
