Elizabeth Finnerty, PhD

I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Ventura County, California. I work with adolescents and adult clients statewide via telehealth, as well as in-person in Westlake Village, and specialize in trauma/PTSD/complex trauma, suicidality, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal conflict. I am committed to tailoring treatment to the unique needs of each client. To achieve positive outcomes, I use evidence-based techniques such as CBT and DBT, along with trauma-informed, attachment-based, and mindfulness approaches. I work from a strengths-based approach, encouraging clients to discover inner resources, while developing healthy, adaptive coping strategies and skills to combat and reduce symptoms. Life presents all of us with challenges that we are not meant to navigate alone. It is infinitely more meaningful when we can explore our inner worlds in the safe presence of another.
