Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Laguna Beach, CA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California with 27 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I offer tele-health only sessions from the comfort of your home, making care accessible no matter where you are in California. I accept Anthem and Magellan insurance. My practice is intentionally small — I keep a limited caseload so every client receives my full attention and care. I am warm, experienced, and deeply committed to showing up for the people I work with.

Hi, great to meet you! I’m Elizabeth Casas-Valdovinos, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides individual therapy to adults in English and Spanish. With more than five years of experience in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult—and I’m committed to creating a welcoming, compassionate space where you can feel heard and understood.

I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use concerns, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, and challenges with self-esteem. Together, we can explore what you’re going through, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward healing and meaningful change.

I earned my Master of Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino, and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2025. As a wife, mother, and Christian, I value compassion, connection, and hope. When desired, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate a client’s faith and personal values into therapy while respecting each individual’s unique beliefs and experiences.

Taking the first step toward counseling takes courage. I would be honored to support you on your journey.

My work centers queer and transgender preteens, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with current or past foster care involvement. My clients may be feeling overwhelmed, questioning their identity, or don't know where to start with therapy. I can support you by helping you notice patterns and build trust in your own process.

I am so happy to meet you and look forward to working with you. My approach as a Mental Health Clinician is warm, empathetic, compassionate and affirming. I have had over 30 years of experience in the field of Mental Health and substance use treatment. I have worked at Women's Recovery Association with women and children. Many years in School Based Counseling and individual counseling.

Introduction

I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.

My communication style

My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.

How I help clients reach goals

Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?

My journey to becoming a provider

Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!
