Elizabeth Lachendro
Hi, my name is Elizabeth, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s degree in Psychology. My objective is to help you achieve your goals and feel better about your emotional well-being and your life . I hope to help you work through challenges and find new coping skills. My initial goal is to help you feel like this is a “safe space” to discuss your personal issues.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session my goal is to learn about the client and their issues. I do want to understand the concerns that brought you to treatment but at the same time I want to learn more about who you are as a person . I want to work with you to set up goals and what you want to get out of therapy . I want clients to feel comfortable, heard and have their feelings validated .
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is that as a former Therapist in Substance abuse treatment I learned how I can apply my knowledge to other types of problems and losses. I look forward to working with clients during difficult times in their lives . I hope to empower clients to face life's challenges and help them develop coping skills. I have a lot of training and experience in working with anxiety , depression and trauma as well.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My main specialties are substance abuse work as well as trauma informed counseling. In addition I am well prepared to work with emotional distress including depression and anxiety issues

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have over 17 years of experience / My goal is to help clients cope with maladaptive thinking patterns and also to improve their life in general.
Couples Counseling
So many of us need to work on our relationships . I believe in working on communication and improvement in the overall dynamics of couples
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In our fast paced and technology driven society it can be challenging to learn how to focus on what matters- ourselves and to slow ourselves down enough to appreciate our lives and our time. I am here to help with that
Trauma-Focused CBT
Sometimes Trauma results in symptoms of PTSD and otherwise we also need to learn how past trauma is affecting our current thoughts, attitudes and behaviors. I can work with clients to develop coping skills so that past and recent or current traumas can be handled so that there is still quality of life and even joy in life and living.
