Lizzette Peregrina, MA, LPC
Hi, my name is Lizzette. I am a licensed professional counselor with more than fifteen years of experience, and I am the owner of All Spectrum Counseling. My passion for helping others comes from personal experience as I received counseling at some point in my life, which made me realize that I wanted to become a counselor myself and help other people dealing with similar issues that I experienced. Being a client gave me a great perspective of how I wanted to be a counselor, and I am committed to helping my clients deal with their issues in a caring, non-judgmental, and compassionate manner. I believe that being able to connect with your counselor is extremely important for the therapeutic process to be successful, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship comes from a reciprocal effort and commitment. If you are ready to put on some work, I am here to help you every step of the way! My experience is extensive working in different settings with many populations with diverse backgrounds, utilizing culturally appropriate treatment models. I’m experienced in treating issues related to substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, suicide/self-harm, sexual misconduct, sexual gender identity, parent-child conflicts, violence/aggression, behavioral issues, family reintegration, acculturation issues, and overall life changes and ups and downs. I also speak Spanish fluently.
Lizzette is a Master ART Practitioner
Lizzette has the highest training in ART therapy. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an innovative approach to treating trauma. ART is a blend of different modalities, including Gestalt and Psychodynamic therapies, guided imagery, and bilateral eye movements. Lizzette uses ART therapy to guide clients to replace negative images in the mind caused by traumatic memories with positive images that they choose. Once the negative images have been replaced with positive ones, the triggers will be gone.
Lizzette is trained in EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. It involves the client recalling traumatic events while simultaneously undergoing bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, taps, or sounds. This process aims to reduce the emotional intensity of memories and reframe negative beliefs, facilitating symptom relief.
Lizzette uses one of the most widely used therapy modalities: CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. It helps individuals recognize how their thoughts influence their feelings and actions, and teaches practical skills to reframe these thoughts and develop healthier behaviors. CBT is highly effective in treating many mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and phobias.
Lizzette is trained in Grief Counseling
Lizzette offers grief counseling services that can help you cope with the loss of a loved one. She provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings of grief, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your grief and move forward.
Lizzette utilizes an integrative approach
Integrative counseling is a flexible and holistic therapeutic approach that combines techniques and theories from different counseling models to suit the needs of each client, rather than adhering strictly to one therapeutic modality. Lizzette heavily focuses on assessing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). It is well-documented that childhood trauma and adversity can have an impact on adulthood by increasing the risk of chronic illness, mental health issues, obesity, and addiction. Addressing the impact of ACEs through therapeutic practices can help individuals diminish these issues.
Lizzette utilizes a multicultural approach in counseling
Being an immigrant, Lizzette understands the complexity of cultural diversity. Lizzette offers a sensitive approach by demonstrating cultural awareness, respect and sensitivity, and continuous learning. Lizzette has extensive experience working with individuals from different cultural backgrounds, values, and beliefs, ensuring that therapy aligns with these factors.
