Liz has been absolutely amazing and supportive. She actively listens and interprets my ramblings incredibly well which has really helped me understand myself a lot better. I’ve been in therapy many times in my life and I honestly think I’ve made more progress with Liz than I have with any of my other therapists, many of whom I saw for a longer period of time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Elizabeth is very knowledgeable in handling trauma and shows great compassion. Her support feels genuine which is helpful in processing painful memories. I can always count on her to remind me of the positive progress happening to keep me away from sadness.
Liz has felt like a great voice to talk through issues with and discuss difficult circumstances. She has a unique perspective and hasn't been afraid to share her opinions and feelings with me in a way that seems authentic and supportive. It's been a pleasure learning all that I can from her over the past few months!
She is a great listener and helps you work through your problems by feeling validated and seen. She is great. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Even just from the first few sessions Elizabeth has been kind and very informative. It helps me a lot to hear some of the psychological ideas and underpinnings of what we discuss and she taught me a lot in that regard. Looking forward to learning and growing in the future!
Has been very helpful!
