New to therapy? Been before but just never got anywhere? I use a gentle but direct approach to bring awareness into what may be obstacles to living a peaceful, serene, healthy life. Workplace concerns? Relationship/friendship issues or unresolved conflicts? Dissatisfaction with life but can’t quite put your finger on it? You are not alone. And maybe what you’re trying isn’t working because, well, it isn’t working. I can help. My name is Elizabeth and I’m a licensed mental health counselor and art therapist. My specialty focus is anxiety, depression, workplace trauma, and navigating difficult relationships.
Our first session would involve you as the client sharing your history in most facets of life. Keep in mind, you are welcome to share what feel comfortable with and can pass on what you are not yet ready to bring up. In this first session, your counselor will ask overarching questions to get a good understanding on where you've been and what you are going through. This would be the only session where your counselor would be asking most of the questions. We will also discuss some of the ways you are feeling as it relates to your mental health. Typically this first session runs an hour and fifteen minutes and would include you asking your counselor any questions that come up for you.
I offer a listening ear, a gentle but direct approach, and provide insightful feedback for you to move forward in creating the life you desire.
ACT is a highly effective modality for work with individuals facing challenges with interrelational difficulties and life event transitions.
