Dr Elizabeth Pizarro Psychologist

Dr Elizabeth Pizarro is a registered Clinical as well as an Educational and Developmental Psychologist and is a Board Approved Supervisor. She has more than 15 years of clinical experience. She has expertise supporting children, teens, young people, and their parents/carers with a range of challenges and mental health issues. She combines her knowledge of the evidence-base with a collaborative person-centered approach to tailor and individualise treatment. She approaches therapy and her clients with respect, empathy and warmth, and considers clients to be experts in their own lives. Therapy is not prescriptive, but rather collaborative and exploratory. She has worked in a range of settings, including community health, private practice, schools and hospitals. In addition to private practice, she currently also works as senior lecturer in a university setting, where she trains postgraduate psychology students completing their final years of training before registering as psychologists. She completed her PhD in 2019 and continues to conduct clinical research to better understand emotion regulation and sociocognitive skills in adolescents and young people with and without mental health issues, and how emotion regulation is socialised/taught (via modelling and responses from those around us).
