My areas of expertise include addressing depression/anxiety, adjustment to college, grief, life transitions & stress related issues, finding existential meaning/life purpose, academic performance, and LGBTQIA+ together with related issues of marginalization and familial expectations.

For me, psychotherapy must address the needs of the person. Sometimes this can mean exploring how you got to the point you are at, and how you want to change; and sometimes you may want specific tools to address a very specific issue. Finding the right therapist is perhaps one of the most important choices you will make and also one of the most difficult. Although a therapist may have an armory of techniques to use, what I have found to be at the heart of any type of psychotherapy is whether the relationship works between you and your therapist.

For more than 30 years I have worked to help people find their strengths, clarify their needs and enrich their relationships and lives. I have eleven years of graduate and post-graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy and have led Marriage Encounter weekends for thirty years with my husband. I see therapy as a collaboration between therapist and client where I help my clients with resources for general health and wellness, self-growth and exploration. No one should have to face life's crises alone. I look forward to working with you.

My name is Elizabeth Bristow and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over twenty years of experience providing psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. I see individuals, couples and families in my private practice. My office is centrally located, I have day and evening hours and I accept most insurances.

I have over 22 years of experience working with children and families. The principles of wraparound are a major component of my work as I believe that families are the experts on their own experiences, strengths and needs. Building an integrated team of both natural and professional supports can help a family meet their goals for themselves in a way that is sustainable.

I have over 25 years experience in a variety of settings, helping clients who have struggled with substance abuse and/or mental health issues . What has, and continues to amaze me is the strength and resilience that these clients have despite their very difficult concerns. I feel my skill as a therapist is in helping clients to uncover and access their strengths, which can be challenging to do on one's own. I hold the belief that their situations and outlooks will improve, that life will get better, and I utilize therapeutic tools to assist me in helping to ensure that for them.

The decision to seek out a therapist is an important first step towards positively addressing conflicts, managing distress, and learning to cope with negative or overwhelming feelings. Our team of therapists bring years of therapy experience. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are Deaf or come from Deaf families (includes hearing family/friends who sign). We provide a supportive, nurturing environment. We use a multimodal approach incorporating mind-body therapies with evidence-based treatments.

Forming a positive and interpersonal therapeutic relationship with each patient is fundamental to developing effective coping skills, fostering a deeper self-knowledge, and ultimately achieving a sustainable whole-self. It is of great importance to me, that the person seeking my services comes to believe in themselves and in their own potential for achieving wholeness, healing and strength. I utilize empathetic, supportive language and other therapeutic methods to enhance and actualize treatment success. I have been working effectively with patients for more than 15 years, creating a warm and naturally therapeutic environment.

Deciding to see a therapist is the first, and sometimes the most difficult, step on your journey to emotional wellness. I am here to offer a safe and confidential space so you can communicate freely and experience your feelings without having to hold back.
