Elizabeth Monroy-Rodriguez, Intern

Elizabeth Monroy Rodriguez, who prefers to go by Lizzy, is an Art Therapy graduate student at Nazareth University. Her journey into Art Therapy was driven by a deep desire to create a safe environment that fosters creative wellness. This passion led her to leave the California coast and embrace the changing seasons of New York.

Lizzy aspires to specialize in trauma-informed therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and sexual trauma. She employs a person-centered and narrative therapy approach in her work. Coming from a diverse background, Lizzy is committed to connecting with historically underserved and marginalized communities. Through culturally-relevant art making, she aims to address the unique challenges these communities face while also exploring individual and community strengths.

​

She is excited to be part of a team dedicated to empowering individuals, couples, families, and communities on their transformative journeys. Lizzy looks forward to learning from and collaborating with clinicians who embody the mission of this practice. She is grateful for the opportunity to create and lead community outreach projects and for the support she has received in pursuing her passion in such a welcoming environment.
