Hello! My name is Lizette Orozco. I have been a Social Worker for 10+, and specifically a therapist for the last 5 years. Throughout my career I have worked in a variety of settings providing services to children, parents, women, immigrants, and children of immigrants. I enjoy walking alongside people as they discover more about themselves and their mental health.
The first session can be so scary and nerve-wracking. My goal is to ease you into it. We don't have to go into your deepest, darkest secrets. While we gather information about what therapy may look like in the future and some history, it will also be a good opportunity to find out if we are a good fit for each other.
My biggest strengths as a provider are that I am compassionate and caring. I am also bilingual in Spanish and English. I believe that being a Latina has helped many clients connect with me culturally and feel welcome by someone in the healthcare system who can understand them better.
I enjoy working with a variety of populations. Given my history, I am best positioned to serve individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, life transitions, goal planning, or are part of minority populations. My approach works best with individuals who are collaborative in treatment and are open to sharing their input in what they would like.
EFT has been a core approach throughout my years of practice. I believe that connecting via emotions is the foundation of treatment.
Throughout my 10+ years as a Social Worker, most of my clients have experienced some level of trauma. With training, experience, and education, I have learned how trauma impacts everyday life.
In my career, I have worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including refugees, immigrants, children of immigrants, and minorities. This experience, in addition to growing up in a Hispanic community, has allowed me to understand the value in culture and diversity.
