I’m Elizabeth

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

I support you in exploring your true self and achieving meaningful transformation. My approach ensures that each step of our work together is tailored to your unique journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Elizabeth Garzarelli
Tree with deep roots

I love going deep with people.

My clients nicknamed me "The Deepener" for my commitment to understanding and supporting their journeys. With 30 years of experience, I specialize in EMDR, hypnotherapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP), blending transpersonal, Jungian, and Internal Family Systems theories.

I hold an M.A. in Integral Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. In addition, I am a certified hypnotherapist, have completed Level II training in EMDR, and finished a four-month training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.

I’m the co-founder of Quietude Retreat Center, Black Mountain Wellness Center and a real estate investment company called Inevitable Grace, Inc.
