Elizabeth Burris

My communication style

My communication style involves being genuine while engaging in active listening. I'll acknowledge your feelings and thoughts in a supportive, understanding, and non-judgmental manner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm, patient, and warm.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey is fairly non-traditional. I practiced law before realizing I wanted to empower others to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. I believe everyone has the potential for positive growth and change, and I find working with clients to attain their goals extremely rewarding.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you and fit your values. As we work together, your goals may evolve, and I'll adaptively alter your treatment plan. I'm a firm believer in doing frequent assessments to help maintain motivation and show how your hard work contributes toward your goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know one another. I'll do a full intake evaluation, asking about your background and reasons for seeking treatment. The session will feel like an interview where we start building your treatment plan. It's normal to feel nervous, and I'm here to work with you collaboratively.
