              Clinical Consultation with Elsa Matsumoto, LCSW, PMH-C
My clinical consultations are designed to support therapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals seeking guidance in culturally affirming, trauma-informed practice. Drawing from over a decade of clinical experience, I provide a reflective and collaborative space to deepen your understanding of complex client dynamics, enhance case conceptualization, and align your interventions with your clients’ cultural identities and lived experiences.
What makes my consultation style unique is my focus on the intersections of culture, trauma, and identity. As a first-generation Mexican-American therapist, I bring a culturally grounded lens that honors both clinical theory and cultural lived experiences. Our work together might explore how cultural narratives, intergenerational trauma, and systemic factors shape client experiences, and how you, as a clinician, can respond with authenticity, compassion, and confidence.
I specialize in areas such as:
Perinatal and maternal mental health, including the emotional transition into motherhood and culturally informed postpartum support.
First-generation experiences, including imposter syndrome, bicultural stress, and intergenerational healing.
Trauma-informed and somatic approaches that integrate body-based regulation and cultural resilience.
Clinician identity development, particularly for BIPOC and first-generation therapists navigating private practice or clinical settings.
