Elizabeth Wells
I work best with people who are curious about themselves and their relationships with others and have a desire to invest more deeply into their own growth. I often work with individuals who have been gifted with a lot of empathy for others but struggle to offer this compassion to themselves. If you would describe yourself as an ‘over-achiever,’ or a ‘perfectionist,’ ‘people-pleaser,’ or ‘workaholic’ who is constantly striving to become the best version of themselves, even if it never feels like enough - I may be a good fit for you.

Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathic, challenging, and empowering. There are so many places in life where we may feel we have to mold ourselves to fit the expectations of others. I don't believe in therapy being another one of those places. I show up in the therapy room very much the same way that I show up everywhere else. I want my clients to feel comfortable being their genuine selves with me and often that becomes a part of the therapy. You deserve to have at least one place and one relationship where you can truly be yourself and know that your thoughts and feelings matter.
