Elizabeth is an exceptional therapist! She is often my go to when comes to the world of addiction. Elizabeth has that rare combination of heart and knowledge. She cares deeply for those who come to see her, and she has an incredible depth of experience and training to help with confidence and effectiveness. A resounding yes for therapy for individuals, couples and families. And a resounding yes to help with substance abuse challenges!
Elizabeth is a phenomenal therapist. She is expert in personality disorders and a fantastic resource for navigating complex coparenting relationships. My husband and I attribute her to strengthening, and in many ways saving our marriage and helping us be better coparents. She is patient, no nonsense, and honest in her feedback and challenges us in the best ways. She’s also very available for urgent requests. She’s a great resource for anyone looking for a therapist.
The experience I had working with Elizabeth was quite unfortunate. She’s dishonest and uncaring though she is very good at portraying the opposite. I never understood the bad reputation therapists have until I started speaking to Elizabeth. With her help I was guided down a very dark path that led to a lot of self harm and drug use which was the result of trying to work through issues she couldn’t understand or provide support in working through. She broke me down because as she put it “sometimes you have to tear something down to build it back” but she gave up half way through. She would say one thing while we were together and then communicate something very different to others. She would make assurances to me that she would not doing things but then do exactly what she said she would never do. She can’t help with PTSD because she perpetuates trauma. Avoid this place and save yourself from getting involved with a therapist that is only good at generating pain, suffering and betrayal. After I stopped working with her I started listening to my inner sense and I was able to climb out of the hole she dug and left me in. So beware of this “therapist” and her many faces. Good luck. Perhaps try literally anyone else for your therapy needs. God speed to you. You can do this.
