"Wildflower Creative Care"- Elizabeth Webster, MA, LPC, ATR, BFA

Our passion is to provide supportive care and consultation for “wildflowers”, those who may consider themselves a highly sensitive person, creative, and/or neurodivergent, that may also be experiencing chronic illnesses, looking for someone else who “gets it”.

We aim to help individuals/families or businesses connect with themselves on a creative level, all while breaking intergenerational cycles, exploring their authentic selves and acceptance during difficult times.

In a world where limits are often placed upon those who think differently or are “differently abled”; we aim to break down those barriers and support you, allowing you to experience infinite opportunities.

Her “Why”:

Elizabeth knows firsthand how beautiful and difficult it can be to experience the world differently than others. As someone who was always considered or called “sensitive”, Elizabeth has found that her passion is to help those who have experienced the world in this way—looking to bring more clarity, understanding and acceptance of self into their lives. As a late diagnosed and identified neurodivergent (AuDhD) therapist, battling with her own chronic illness, her goal is to empower clients who may also experience the world from this viewpoint & for them to feel less alone.

How?

No two people are alike, especially when involving individual needs and concerns. Being a “neurodivergent” advocate, counselor and credentialed Art Therapist, allows Elizabeth to work with a personal understanding with those who may need a non-traditional approach in therapy or work-place dynamics; because some days we need to create and other days we need to regulate! Throughout treatment, Elizabeth’s goal is to help others by supporting self-exploration in order to build confidence, seek possible accommodations/diagnoses, manage any related chronic illness, and identify coping strategies for when life feels a bit too much.

“I believe that any therapeutic process or relationship is fostered by building upon a trusting and empathetic relationship. Change is hard, even if it is a “positive” one, and asking for help should not feel burdensome. I’ve found that having a person to process life with, that has no biased opinions and a lending ear, can be a validating and empowering experience. I aim to provide a safe space and be my client’s confidant.

As your therapist, I hope I can be that person.”
