My name is Elizabeth Cowell. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I utilized CBT and EMDR mainly to work with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. I also use Gottman and EFT to work with couples. My approach to therapy is influenced by Aaron Beck who founded Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

It's not easy being human and you aren't meant to navigate life alone. Living in the modern world it's easy to lose connection to yourself, others, and nature. You might suffer from anxiety, depression, physical pain or a general lack of purpose and joy. With a busy life, you often can’t pause long enough to reflect and make the changes you most need to make. You want to heal so you can live into your soul's unique purpose and want to make the time for soulful exploration and personal growth. The good news is, psychotherapy (literally meaning "soul healing"), has its root in this powerful work and you don't have to do it alone.

Your experience makes sense, there is nothing wrong with you, and healing is possible. I see therapy as a supportive space where you can find your inner voice and practice living in alignment with your authentic self. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or other mental health issues, therapy will be a collaborative process. Our sessions will support you in developing skills, learning how to manage your emotions and feeling a greater sense of calm within yourself and in relationships.
