Why Now?
Are you feeling disconnected and as if your life is not heading in the direction you want? Are you noticing that there is a pattern of action and thinking in your life that no longer works for you and is impacting important relationships?
If so, I am here to help.
My Approach
I have worked extensively with individuals managing Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, PTSD, life transitions, grief and navigating difficult familial and intimate partner relationships. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. My nature is warm and down to earth as I truly enjoy working with and for people.
Choosing a therapist can feel much like trying to find the right key to unlock a door. I deeply respect the decision you are making to invest in your wellbeing by entering the therapeutic process. As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, my first priority is to create a safe place free of judgment where, together, we can explore and process life events. Each session is customized to what your needs are. I utilize elements from the following theories: Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Emotion focused therapy, Gottman, Dialectical Behavioral therapy. Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing.
About Me
I attended the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology in 1999. I later chose to obtain my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, San Diego in 2015. Within my career as a therapist I have worked for non-profit agencies that served clients displaced from their family of origin, homeless young mothers, and with adults and transition aged youth managing mental health diagnosis. I am currently working only in private practice and have found that working with individuals, couples and families who are dedicated to do self exploration and work to create change has been very fulfilling.
Welcome, I'm Elizabeth Nellis
I guide people through difficult life experiences so they are able to process, remove obstacles and experience the real change that they seek.
If the above sounds useful to you I look forward to connecting with you soon.
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”
-Henry David Thoreau
