I’m Liz Lustgarten, a Licensed Professional Counselor/Mental Health Service Provider (LPC/MHSP), dedicated to creating a safe and compassionate therapeutic space for you and/or your family. I work with a diverse range of clients and concerns, with many clients typically navigating a history of anxiety, depression, and trauma. As a therapist, I value walking alongside my clients during times of struggle and success, to continue to help them move toward their goals.
I have been working as a therapist since 2021, and have been working as a licensed therapist since November of 2023. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Person-Centered Therapy tend to guide my work with all my clients, and with children, I use Child-Centered Play Therapy and Sand-Tray therapy.
My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling confident about your ability to handle all aspects of life. If you are interested in working together, please reach out and we can set up an appointment. I look forward to being able to work with you.
