Liz Spitzer, Trauma Psychologist

If you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, a new medical diagnosis, or the quiet weight of caring for someone you love, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in trauma (childhood, sexual assault, accidents, complicated birth), anxiety, and stress in adults, including the unique challenges that come with infertility, NICU experiences, and coping with cancer or medical diagnoses. Using evidence-based therapies, we'll work at your pace, building on your existing strengths while developing new tools to help you move from surviving to living a meaningful, full life with more ease.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and grounded in who you are, including your history and what matters to you most. We will work together to understand your symptoms, set meaningful goals, and build skills you can use outside of sessions. I offer evidence based therapies, including CBT, ACT, ERP, and trauma-focused therapies (CPT and PE).

Finding the right therapist matters, and the relationship is a core part of what makes therapy work. If my approach resonates with you, please reach out for a free consultation. I am committed to providing care that is culturally responsive and affirming of all backgrounds. I work with adults via telehealth in Massachusetts and look forward to connecting.
