Dr. Elizabeth Newman, PsyD, MA
Licensed Clinical Psychologist | California License PSY 30749

I am a California Licensed Clinical Psychologist, published author, educator, and wellness practitioner with an extensive background in psychology, psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and integrative mind-body wellness. My professional experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in clinical, educational, and community settings. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and develop the emotional resilience and practical skills necessary to achieve meaningful, lasting change.

My clinical practice offers individualized psychotherapy, comprehensive psychological assessments, and diagnostic evaluations for a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental concerns. My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, and significant life transitions. I utilize a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach, integrating therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other scientifically based interventions. I believe effective therapy begins with understanding each individual’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

In addition to my clinical training, my professional background encompasses executive coaching, dance and movement, meditation, clinical hypnosis, Reiki, and creative wellness practices. These experiences have contributed to my appreciation for the relationship between psychological health, physical well-being, creativity, and personal development. While my clinical services are grounded in established psychological principles and evidence-based treatment, I also recognize the value of mindfulness, self-expression, and personal meaning in supporting overall well-being.

The CreateWell Method

As the Founder of the CreateWell Method, I embrace a holistic philosophy of personal growth that emphasizes self-awareness, intentional living, emotional balance, and the connection between mind and body. This approach encourages individuals to explore their lived experiences, identify patterns that may limit their potential, and cultivate healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding to life’s challenges. By fostering greater insight, self-compassion, and purposeful action, individuals can develop a stronger sense of balance, fulfillment, and personal empowerment.

At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change emerges through a supportive and collaborative relationship. Whether you are seeking therapy, psychological evaluation, or greater clarity during a challenging period, my goal is to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward with confidence.
