Elizabeth Ortiz-Arellano

Practicum Intern 

Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling

Southern New Hampshire University

Supervised By Kristal DeSantis, LMFT

​

About Elizabeth:

My name is Elizabeth. I was born and raised in Austin, TX and come from a very rich Mexican heritage. I have always wanted to get into the clinical mental health field ever since I took my first intro to psychology class and learned about the different mental and relational health issues that so many people silently go through. 

​

I have my Bachelors in Psychology from St. Edwards University and am currently pursuing my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. My internship with Austin STRONG will run for the Spring semester, beginning April 6th. 

​

Elizabeth's Therapeutic Approach:

Throughout my graduate program I have learned about a variety of different counseling methods, and I have come to love Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the STRONG model of Relational Therapy. I am always learning new methods and eager to adapt my sessions to best fit your needs. I am a firm believer that a counselors job is to help our clients feel their most comfortable in every session and have them be in a judgement-free zone.

​

If you are going through anxiety, depression, pain, stress management, family troubles, grief, or if you feel alone, give me a call. We will work together and get you the necessary tools to overcome any future situations through or sessions.

​

Elizabeth's Schedule: 

I am accepting new clients for scheduling starting April 6th! Please contact to book with me. My schedule is open in the evenings Monday-Friday and very flexible on the weekends! 

​​

Elizabeth's Fee Scale:

My fee is $40 per session for individuals and $45 per session for couples. Spots are limited so please reach out.
