Liz Shields

My clients describe me as:

I mainly see teens and young adults. I have been told that I am down to earth, approachable, empathetic, compassionate, genuine and easy to relate to.

Something to know about my approach is:

I am person-centered and strengths-based, as well as intuitive. I will learn you and build a strong rapport so that you feel safe to freely be yourself. I will validate and support you, and get to know you and see you for the real you.

Together, we will:

We will collaborate to set small and bigger goals for yourself in order to facilitate positive life change. You will learn coping skills, become more self aware and self informed, as well as build confidence in your own abilities and decision-making.

I specialize in working with people who:

have experienced trauma, difficult life circumstances or life transitions, or who do not feel connected to themselves. I am a parent of a disabled child so I also have a unique understanding of parenting children with extra needs.

I became a therapist because:

I am passionate about helping others and impacting human lives. I believe this creates a long-lasting ripple effect in our world.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I work with some really amazing and supportive women in our shared collaborative space. I also enjoy making my office space feel cozy and like home.

More about me and my practice:

I am excited to get to know you and support you. I keep my practice very small, intentionally, to avoid burn out and to offer the best individualized care possible to my clients.
