COVID-19: Telehealth Online Therapy is now available for all of our services!
Hi. My name is Elizabeth Lozano. I’m a Clinical Professional Counselor.
More specifically I am someone who sparks change in people’s lives and relationships.
I provide a safe and stable environment for individuals to explore leading factors that may contribute to ongoing challenges, re-process key experiences, and ultimately co-create their future. I support individuals in exploring their history and uncovering patterns they may not even be aware of so that they can begin to have more control of their emotions and be excited about their futures.
I know from my years of experience working with individuals my approach to therapy is integrative and humanistic-focused therapy achieved by utilizing a wide variety of therapeutic interventions to explore and analyze positive and negative life experiences from your past to the present and help fortify you against future struggles. My specialties include anxiety and depression. If you are ready to begin, I will be glad to assist you in determining what you hope to achieve in your life and what kind of person you want to be and help you blossom into your full potential. I believe that each one of us can be fulfilled in our lives. If you are ready to explore what is getting in your way and figure out what to do next, I will be happy to answer your call.

Hi, I’m Hannah Ibay, a Clinical Social Work Intern in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Emory University and a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. During my education and experience, I developed a passion for working with children focusing on trauma-informed care and the family system.
I am committed to treating children, teens, adults, and families with nurturing and helpful therapy to assist them through difficulties in many areas of life. I use an integrative approach focusing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy to help my clients through various issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, domestic violence, trauma, foster-care/out-of-home placement, and adoption.
I come from a strengths-based approach looking to help my clients emphasize their own self-determination and focus on their positive attributes. I am passionate about helping my clients and giving everyone a safe, open environment to feel comfortable working collaboratively to reach their therapeutic goals.
During my days off I love reading, enjoying nature, spending time with my family, and hanging out with my 3 dogs, parrot, and tortoise.
I was originally a lawyer. While representing a client during a domestic case, I began to feel that the legal world sometimes made things worse for families instead of better. I decided I wanted to get another degree so that I could better help people and especially families. Having decided I wanted to be a therapist I examined all the possible therapy degrees and chose marriage and family therapy because of its systemic view of the world. This discipline doesn’t blame people for their mental health issues but realizes those issues are partially related to the environment, families, and groups they are part of as well as the experiences they have had and their genetics.
After receiving my Masters at BYU; where I had the opportunity to work in the BYU comprehensive clinic seeing families, couples, and individuals; I took a few years off to raise my children. Once both children were in full-time school, I went back to work. I have been a licensed MFT since 2013. I have worked with pre-teens, teenagers and adults. I have especially enjoyed working with people struggling with anxiety, depression, and couples’ issues such as communication. I originally started using cognitive behavioral therapy but have grown to believe that there are many ways to support and encourage change and each client requires a unique treatment method tailored to them.
I love the privilege of helping people minimize and carry their pain. I believe in homework, and practice between sessions. I believe in rituals and making the intangible tangible.
At Elements of Motivation, we believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance.
I am passionate about helping people navigate the challenges of their lives and grow into their best selves. I work with adults, adolescents, and children (including individuals, couples, and families) on a variety of challenges including trauma, PTSD, relationship distress, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I am LGBTQ plus allied and sex positive. My specialty is in healing past trauma including abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), neglect, grief/loss, etc. Serious challenges are welcome. I enjoy helping people get "unstuck" so you can heal and live the life you deserve.
Therapy with me is collaborative as we work together to define and reach your goals. My approach is evidence-based which means treatment is informed by research within the mental health field. The modalities I currently use are solution-focused, psychodynamic/attachment-based, CBT, Gottman Method (for couples), EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
I believe that everyone has innate strengths which can guide them through any challenge. My job is to help you find those strengths and use them to achieve the goals you set for yourself. Think of me as your personal trainer for mental health. I currently offer both tele-health and in-person sessions. Please feel free to reach out.
