I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Nevada and Arizona with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings from treatment foster care to inpatient psychiatric hospitals and now in private practice. I have worked with clients with a variety of concerns including, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and stress.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I use a non-judgemental approach and refrain from using labels when possible. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness. I also am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, the most researched and effective treatment for those who have experienced trauma.
I believe that clients can make as much progress as they are willing to work for. I will show up for you and help you reach your goals and you need to do the same.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elizabeth DeYoung. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I love talking to Elizabeth, she helps me look at my problems in new ways and has also helped me work through some of the trauma that has been holding me back from having good self esteem. This has been a hard year for so many but I’m thankful to have found such a thoughtful and supportive therapist to help me get through it.

I felt comfortable with Elizabeth in the first few minutes talking with her and knew she would be able to help me with my issues.
