Hi! I am Elisabeth, and I am glad you are reaching out. I am a social worker licensed in North Carolina about to move to Chicago, Illinois. I have been a mental health counselor for over 15 years and have worked with a wide range of clients, addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, and fear. I understand that life is hard, and I am here to help. I have walked the road of emotional hardship, and I know that therapy can help you get through tough times. Each of us deserves the joy of a fulfilling life.
My counseling style is warm and engaging. I respect wherever you are on your life's journey, and I can help you find the skills to keep moving forward. My approach is strengths-based, and I like to focus on your inherent self worth and resilience. You have made it this far.
It takes guts to ask for help. It suggests that you are ready to feel better.
Let's get to work and make that happen!
