I’m Dr. Elizabeth Bradshaw.
I practice child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy.
About
I am licensed clinical psychologist and work with children, adolescents, and adults. My orientation towards therapy is psychodynamic and developmental, which means I consider our relationship histories and dynamics, internal and external conflicts, developmental needs and capacities, environments and cultures, and our individual bodies and sensory systems. I approach each person with curiosity, thoughtfulness, and warmth, and view each treatment as its own creative and collaborative endeavor. I am also a supervisor and faculty member at Access Institute for Psychological Services, and an Adjunct Faculty member at the Wright Institute.
In addition to being a practicing psychologist, I am participating in further training at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. If you are interested in beginning a psychoanalysis or learning more about this kind of specialized treatment, please call me for more information.

Approach
Individual psychotherapy gives children and adolescents a private and safe space to make sense of and process their unique experiences. This is particularly important and beneficial when those experiences have been colored by disturbing thoughts or feelings, anxiety or fears, trauma, or complex sensory systems.
I offer a collaborative, exploratory, practical, and flexible approach to support children and their families. Generally speaking, we will work together to understand the meaning behind troubling, confusing, and frustrating behaviors and feelings, and help your child create new, more adaptive patterns of acting, relating, communicating, and thinking. This will generally take place during individual meetings with your child, and during additional regular parent meetings where we can track progress and I can support you with challenging parenting situations.
