Elizabeth Morris
Hi, I’m Elizabeth “Liz,” a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. I believe seeking help is a courageous first step, and I’m honored to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing. My passion for counseling began with a desire to understand why people respond to life’s difficulties the way they do and what can help us move from surviving to thriving. My own life challenges and traumatic experiences have also deepened my empathy and strengthened my desire to help others find hope, healing, and resilience. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, including individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, medical-related trauma, midlife transitions, and complex mental health challenges. I have served as a Clinical Supervisor and Clinical Director, supporting individuals and families within complex clinical settings. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique needs. I hold a CBT certification through the Beck Institute at the University of Pennsylvania and have extensive training in trauma-informed therapy. As a devoted Christian, my faith is an important part of who I am. For clients who desire Christian-based counseling, I welcome the opportunity to thoughtfully integrate biblical principles and faith into the therapeutic process. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, help you understand your experiences, and support you as you move toward healing and meaningful change.

Strengths
I have found through my career that being open, honest, real, and slightly transparent develops a great therapeutic relationship. I have received great feedback from clients stating how much they enjoyed our sessions, what they learned about themselves and how important it is to be focused on their mental wellness.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is truly committed to wanting to make significant changes in their life. I like to help those who desire guidance or a coach to help express their thoughts and emotions. I like to work with clients who are willing and motivated to work on their treatment goals and will hold themselves accountable for their actions and lack of effort in the therapeutic process.
Treatment methods
Integrative
I use integrative therapy because I tailor my treatment based on the individual client or family dynamics that will help drive treatment. Integrative therapy includes several different treatment modals that can provide support and positive treatment outcomes.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma informed care to the client to process the trauma while navigating from a victim, survivor and thrives modal of treatment.
Faith based therapy
Faith based therapy primarily Christianity to help promote and value the importance of your Faith into your treatment because of how the Bible is the guide to faith and life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness therapy will address the use of diaphragm breathing, guided imagery and how positive through process can assist in how your body respond to stressful situations.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I like to use personal centered treatment to give the client the opportunity to start treatment. In this model the client is the expert about their life and the role of the therapist is to gather that information with unconditional positive regard to identity strengths and barriers and gain a positive attitude and sense of self.
