Elizabeth Bravo

Elizabeth Bravo

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with people navigating the lasting effects of trauma. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University and my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I really enjoy working with women who are experiencing burnout in motherhood and/or the workplace, young adults who have recently graduated from college and are feeling lost during that transition, and women who tend to lose themselves in relationships — whether romantic, familial, professional, or platonic. Many of my clients tend to be highly sensitive, overthinkers, people pleasers, and deep feelers.
