We're clinicians who love collaborating with clients to identify resources and build solutions.
When working with us, you can expect:
-
Compassionate authenticity (aka, some truth bombs)
-
Enthusiasm about hearing your story. We're fans of your bravery and resilience already
-
A fierce belief in your ability to make sustainable, meaningful change
-
A touch of humor (one of the most essential life skills)
-
Lots of plant metaphors. Because, after all, we can often blame it on our roots
Meet The Team
Elizabeth De La Puente, LCSW
Hi there! I am so glad you are here. My name is Elizabeth, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I focus on creating a personalized approach for each individual I work with. I believe in tailoring my methods to your unique needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring that our work together is centered on your specific goals. I believe in creating an organic, open environment where you take the lead in your treatment, allowing us to work together to identify goals that are meaningful to you. I value autonomy and strive to ensure that you feel in control of your journey, with the freedom to explore and shape the direction of our work together. My approach to therapy is rooted in a humanistic and collaborative philosophy, where you are always at the center of the process. I draw from DBT, CBT, and mindfulness techniques to help you navigate challenges in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

Rebecca Beddoe, LCSW
I believe each person is unique and that their experiences, in addition to biology, help shape who they are. My background has contributed to my understanding of the connection between people and the systems in which they are involved. I learn a lot from my clients and I enjoy learning about the brain; I feel that understanding what is going on in there, particularly related to neurodivergence, is so helpful in understanding our mental health.

Zack Rybak, LCSW
When beginning our work together, my intention is both to assist in the processing of present distress and to focus on building a strong, collaborative relationship. This relationship can then facilitate what I believe is a central task of therapy, the vulnerable turn toward integrating the past, increasing insight and self-understanding. Many of my clients seek support due to internal conflict and stress, difficulties around experiencing too-much or too-little emotion, relationship struggles, or repeatedly acting in ways that don’t align with who they want to be.
Although primarily grounded in the relational, emotionally-focused, and existential perspectives, I also incorporate the principles and practices of DBT, ACT, and short-term as well as long-term psychodynamic therapy. Alongside these traditional talk-therapy approaches, I am trained in EMDR, a proven and effective intervention for traumatic stress disorders.

Daniel Valle, MFT-Intern
A dedicated clinician must be willing to help others help themselves through difficult times and use evidence-based methods to form impactful therapeutic relationships with clients. I have a passion for working with people exploring their thoughts, actions, emotions, and understanding of themselves and others. I draw from different therapeutic theories, including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Yield Theory, and Existential Therapy. I hope to have a positive impact on the lives of the clients with whom I work.
