Ms. Elizabeth Webster, MA, LPC ATR

I’m here to help those who have felt different or have been called/consider themselves a “highly-sensitive” individuals. The differences might be a result from experiencing trauma, neurodivergent diagnoses, medical trauma/chronic illnesses, or due to sensory processing difficulties. In therapy, individuals are looking for a safe space to process their life experiences. As a late diagnosed and identified neurodivergent therapist, my goal is to empower my client who may experience the world in this beautiful and “different” way.

My clients are individuals, families or parents going through life transitions or family issues, who may also be experiencing anxiety or depression. The focus of most of my work is related to life related to an autism diagnosis (or suspecting of one), trauma related to life experiences, family systems, and self-esteem. I’m here to help families work through their concerns; whether they are related to a new diagnosis or an unexpected life event.

My counseling style has been described as warm, encouraging, empathetic, client-centered and non-judgmental. I believe that the therapeutic process is fostered by building a trusting and empathetic relationship. The techniques I use come from a combination of different therapeutic styles that include: trauma based therapy (how our past experiences relive in our body, thoughts and behaviors), dialectical-behavioral therapy (mindfulness/focusing on the present, distress tolerance skills, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness), family systems therapy (all members in a relationship/family contribute to the dynamic of whether the relationship is functioning in a healthy or dysfunctional way) and art therapy (art is a tool in the therapeutic process, not the focus).
