Hi my name is Elizabeth and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I earned a Master’s of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Mid America Nazarene University and I've been practicing for 10 years. I am holistic in my approach adhering to the Adlerian theory of beliefs. I love to see people heal from trauma, gain clarity, increase confidence, improve their relationships and be the healthiest, happiest version of themselves, living their best life!
In our first session, I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard and understood. We'll focus on what brings you to therapy and explore your hopes and goals for our work together. I'll ask some questions to better understand your background, experiences and what you're currently going through, but we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
My strengths specific to counseling: Empathic; encouraging; extraordinary active listening skills; insightful; recognition of patterns and a myriad of life experiences thus enabling me to relate to a diversity of circumstances and people.
I use several different approaches including CBT, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Solution Focused, Faith/Christian Counseling (when applicable), Somatic Therapy and Supportive Reflection.
