“Prior to meeting Elizabeth, I had tried a couple of therapists. She is the first one with whom I have truly made a connection. Our sessions allow me to be open and not feel judged or ashamed, and I feel as if Elizabeth truly listens, not just talks at me. I quickly learned that it is extremely important to find a therapist that you connect with. She is often able to explain things about my behavior that seem very logical, but I hadn’t managed to connect before. When I first started counseling, I was in a deep state of depression and struggling with extreme anxiety that made daily life almost unbearable. Medication was not working, and I really didn’t have much hope for therapy. Therapy has helped me to see patterns in my behavior and to set small goals for myself in order to change my life. While I know the road back from depression is not easy, Elizabeth has helped me see that there are ways I can improve my life.”
