My name is Felicia M. Eliazar, LCSW and I am a psychotherapist and clinical social worker, independently licensed in the state of California (LCSW License # 29861). I have been practicing psychotherapy since my Masters of Social Work program in 2005 at San Jose State University, School of Social Work. During my Master’s Program, I also earned a Family Development Credential from Cornell University. I also hold a Family Wellness Credential and have a State Certification in Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, and Human Trafficking. After graduating with my Masters in Social Work, I worked for several years as a psychotherapist at an outpatient community mental health agency. As a Dependency Investigating Social Worker through Santa Clara Child Protective Services, my work primarily focused on intense case management, assessing, and developing long-term case plans. Keeping families together lead me to my career path which stemmed from my passion for Foster Care Youth. As as investigator at Child Protective Services I witnessed first hand how important decisions impact all members of each family.
In 2008, I developed Parent Solutions. In addition to being its Director, I am also a front line provider. I specialize in family therapy, parent coaching, co-parent therapy, reunification therapy, at-risk youth, and the LBGTQ community.
I have followed my forensic interest to also advocate for children. I completed my Custody Evaluation forensic training and currently provide private custody evaluations for Santa Clara and many surrounding counties. I have been deemed an expert witness and provide private consultations and assist legal teams. I am listed as a provider of court approved for Santa Clara County Court. I am a current member of BAPA (Bay Area Psychological Association, AFCC (Association of Family and Conciliation Courts), and NASW (National Association of Social Workers). In the most recent years, I have completed intense training to provide Mental Health Evaluations for immigration attorneys and families seeking Asylum, U-Visas, and hardship waivers.
Born and raised in Santa Clara County, I understand there are various cultural, ethnic, and religious groups that enrich the landscape of our community. I am comfortable addressing families of different backgrounds and provides special consideration to cultural norms, expectations and communication style to form a meaningful connection and understanding between family members.
