Elizabeth Gowan

My communication style

My communication style is a unique blend of empathy, optimism, practicality, encouragement, and humor. I actively listen, ask questions, and provide respectful feedback. I place emphasis on helping you explore thoughts and feelings and work on finding solutions within a safe, supportive environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in behavioral health has been shaped by my early experiences of medical trauma, a unique and complex family, and an interest in helping others. It is sincerely gratifying to see clients find hope and rebuild and redefine their sense of self and confidence in their daily lives.

My goals for you

My most important goal for you is that we address the issues that are causing you the most distress in your life. It is a collaborative process to prioritize these issues and find practical solutions that work in your life. This time is for you, and my job is to be a guide, to track progress, and to support you every step of the way.

Our first session

The goal of the first session is that you feel welcomed and connected and have a sense that together we can make progress towards achieving your goals. This is hard work, and you need to feel comfortable moving forward. In the first session, we will focus on why you chose to pursue therapy and what you want to achieve.
