I work with clients seeking approaches that extend beyond traditional talk therapy. My practice is characterized by an active and inquisitive engagement with symptoms of distress, prioritizing sessions that enhance self-awareness and empower clients to manage their symptoms effectively. My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes the mind-body connection and recognizes our relationship with the broader environment.
My clinical experience encompasses working with adults facing severe mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as well as trauma, addiction, interpersonal difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I utilize interventions including psychoeducation on the mind-body relationship, holistic modalities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and evidence-based trauma therapies. Fundamentally, my orientation is humanistic, and I am committed to providing treatment that is specifically tailored to everyone’s unique needs.
I’m Elizabeth ("Ella") DeGroot, an AMFT based in Newport Beach, California. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California, where I focused on culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, attachment-based work. I have experience supporting adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, spiritual or belief transitions, grief, and relational challenges.
Starting therapy can feel tender, but you don’t have to do this alone. With a warm, trauma‑informed, relational approach, I’ll help you feel more grounded, understood, and connected to yourself. My therapeutic space is for clients longing to feel more grounded, connected, and at home in their own story. I provide support that’s gentle, collaborative, and deeply human as you begin to understand your patterns, and reconnect with who you’re becoming.
“I always gain new insights with her. She's very nice. She has a great understanding of various personal motivations. I love my therapy sessions with her”
