Elizabeth Hale
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
·LCSWAbout
Are you stuck in cycles of worry, discouragement, or unhealthy habits - eating, drinking, or scrolling without control, feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Have life challenges left you feeling drained with low self-esteem? Perhaps your relationships are suffering - you find it hard to express yourself, and when you do, it feels like others don't understand. You want to break free from destructive emotional and behavioral patterns and start living a life filled with purpose and fulfillment, but you're unsure where to begin. Please don't worry; your strength is within you and waiting to be reclaimed. I’ll approach our work together with sincerity and care, providing meaningful support while challenging you appropriately to foster growth and progress. Clients often appreciate my ability to deeply understand their needs, empathize with their unique perspectives, and teach practical skills that bring real relief in the moment. I have extensive experience addressing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, trauma, substance use, stress management, and relationship challenges. I draw from diverse evidence-based methods and incorporate them based on your specific needs and goals. You do not have to do this alone. I am excited to hear from you! Specialties: Specializing in EMDR, MBCT, and compassion-based therapy, I can help with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictive behaviors, trauma, and relationship issues. I am passionate about working with clients who have had prior helpful experiences with talk therapy but still feel stuck and eager to explore more profound healing through EMDR's brain-based approach. Credentials & Experience: Therapy is most effective when it is tailored to you. You will find relief and gain valuable insights by reprocessing difficult memories and learning practical skills. Together, we will work to help you navigate negative emotions, improve your relationships, and confidently embrace life's changes.
