Elisa Zepeda’s Therapist Disclosure Statement <<< (Clickable)
You have greater power and control over your life than you think that you do. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed in your relationships, lonely, anxious, traumatized, or discouraged, healing can happen when we take back the power, we all inherently have and become the best version of ourselves. Your decision to seek out therapy is already a courageous recognition of your ability to grow and change for the better.
I work with couples, families, and individuals to help them take back control of their lives allowing them to regain trust, intimacy, and confidence. I strive to create an environment that works for you and your unique circumstances. I am trained in systemic models that focus on relationships and families as well as EMDR. I received my Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate.

Q&A with Elisa
1.) Some therapists are more comfortable addressing the immediate problem, while others want to focus on the deeper issue. Which are you?
It depends. Usually there is a deeper issues, but sometimes you cannot uncover that until you have done some symptom management.
2.) Do you tend to lead the session, or follow my lead?
I tend to be more directive and lead the session.
3.) What are your strengths as a therapist?
I pay special attention to relational dynamics in the therapy room and listen to everyone’s experience. I am empathetic and understanding toward clients, as well as honest and authentic. I am a very hopeful person, who seeks out the good in life and I can choose to have a good attitude about things, which I feel is a pretty awesome ability! 😃
4.) If you had one superpower, what would it be and why?
Teleportation so I would be able to visit my family and not have to wait at the airport!
5.) What makes you laugh?
Puppy and kitten videos and my friends and family.
6.) Who would you have dinner with, dead or alive?
My sister and our two best friends. We live far away from each other so time together is sacred.
