Elizabeth May

My communication style

I use a strength-based perspective as I realize that individuals know what works best for them, and I enjoy giving them new skills to make their lives easier.

My journey to mental healthcare

I had a Mother who had a significant mood disorder, and a niece and nephew as well who needed mental health treatment. I found myself in a codependent relationship with an addict and needed to learn Pia Mellody's work. I later found Marsha Linehan, Brene Brown, and other therapeutic literature that was life-changing for my clients.

My goals for you

I work closely with my clients to set goals that are specific, measurable, and attainable.

Our first session

I would do a psychosocial assessment listening using empathic support as the client shared what brought them to therapy today and a little about their history. I would do a safety assessment.
