Elizabeth Fumia, LCSW

In my private practice, I provide individualized therapy that is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. With nearly 13 years of experience, I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and personal growth. My approach is client-centered, focusing on your specific needs, goals, and strengths. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for healing. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. By building trust and offering a compassionate, authentic presence, I help you explore your emotions and gain insights that empower you to make meaningful changes in your life. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and strengths-based approaches. This allows me to tailor each session to meet your unique needs, providing you with practical tools to manage emotional distress and build resilience. My methods are designed to promote long-term emotional well-being, not just short-term relief. As a practitioner, I offer personalized care and flexibility, ensuring that your therapy is specifically aligned with your goals and life circumstances. I am committed to lifelong learning and best practices in mental health to provide you with the most effective support. Cultural competence is a core value in my practice. I recognize the importance of understanding how your cultural background, values, and life experiences shape your worldview. By honoring and integrating these aspects into our work together, I ensure that therapy is relevant, inclusive, and deeply respectful of who you are. Whether you’re facing a difficult life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, or seeking personal growth, I am here to guide you toward healing and transformation with compassion and clarity. In order to complete an intake appointment, please send a consultation request to Alma (practice website is included). You can indicate that you are following up from request on Zocdoc. All insurance and billing information is mandatory to be completed to ensure/lock-in a scheduled appointment.

Had my first appointment today and it went really good. I can’t wait to see what next week brings.
I feel heard, don't feel rushed at all. I feel very comfortable and able to open up, don't feel judged.
Verified patient
I think it was a good first visit I look forward to what next week has to offer.

As a first-time therapy goer, Liz has been excellent. She adapts to what you want to work on and creates a safe space for open conversation.
Verified patient
Elizabeth is a practiced and trusted therapist. After our sessions, I feel heard and supported, and I walk way with new tools to try for better mental and emotional health.
Verified patient
Elizabeth has been a helpful part of my growth and healing since I started working with her. I’ve been seeing Elizabeth for over 6 months now, as I processed a difficult transition in my life and into new goals and ambitions. I’ve really found my stride in therapy, working with Elizabeth. I am always given space to share anything on my mind and am always met with grace, non-judgmental feedback, and questions to consider and process on my own. I feel like our work is consistent and thorough and deeply involved by both parties and I feel lucky to have found such a match!
Verified patient
I’ve had enough experiences to identify an anomaly gem… her authenticity, confidence, and gentle demeanor are literally the perfect combination when you’re looking for someone to hear you without judgement. Believe me when I say look no further and stop scrolling reviews ?? I firmly believe she saved my life - her confidence and gentle demeanor are the perfect combination if you’re looking for someone to hear you without judgment and strike that rare balance of sympathizing and imparting wisdom and advice that’s life changing.,
Verified patient
I love Liz! I have been seeing her for a little over a year and she approaches every session with empathy. She has helped me a lot with general anxiety, health anxiety, and change. She helps me reflect and gives me tools to keep in my pocket for when I need them.
Verified patient
I worked with Elizabeth for several months during a time of major life transitions, and she was incredibly supportive throughout the process. She’s a compassionate, patient, and non-judgmental listener who helped guide me toward making healthier decisions for myself. Elizabeth also provided practical tools to manage my anxiety, and I always appreciated how responsive and available she was when I needed support. I highly recommend her as a therapist and have continued to return to her as needed.
Verified patient
My first session was great! Elizabeth was extremely thorough, read the forms I completed beforehand, was respectful if there was anything I didn’t want to share, and struck a great balance between professional and relatable. By the end, she shared her observations and they were spot on and accurate based on only one intake meeting. I’m looking forward to my next session!
Verified patient
Liz is empathetic, a strong listener, and quickly establishes a safe space. Looking forward to unpacking more in our sessions.
Verified patient

Verified patient
She’s helped me work through a tough period in my life through relatable and actionable feedback. Very organized punctual and a great listener. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
Liz has always been responsive, receptive, and supportive during our sessions. Her approach is sympathetic and sincere, but she always strives to be straightforward in her feedback. For especially sensitive topics, she has a gentle and nonjudgmental manner. She is also invested in her patient's progress and offers concrete suggestions & prompts. This has helped me achieve more confidence and growth in the life areas that we discuss.
Verified patient
Elizabeth is great and very thoughtful. Allows me to work out the things I need to work so I can stick to them and they give suggestions without pushing them on to me. It is very comfortable to talk about the issues that I have.
Verified patient
Elizabeth has been extremely supportive in our sessions and is super empathetic. I feel like she’s been really helpful in challenging me in a way to guide me in shifting negative thought patterns, something I’ve struggled with way more than I’ve realized. A lot of the work done in sessions has stuck and she’s helped me learn how to navigate dealing with ADHD in a proactive way
Verified patient
I have been seeing Elizabeth for over 2 years and cannot recommend her enough to others seeking help. I have tried therapy at multiple times throughout my life, but have never felt a real connection or progress through therapy until i started seeing Elizabeth. Not only has Elizabeth been helping me through a tough part of my life; but has better than anyone help me realize that i need to care for myself and thats alright. I would suggest anyone that is struggling to speak with Elizabeth.
Verified patient
I love Liz!! She is extremely empathetic while also giving me realistic tough love that I sometimes need to hear. She remembers details, helps me put bigger pictures together, and is very patient and understanding. I look forward to seeing her every week!
Verified patient
I love Liz! She is extremely empathetic and understanding while also giving me some tough love that I need to hear sometimes. She remembers details and helps me put together puzzle pieces in my life. I look forward to seeing her every week!!
Verified patient
I've had a positive experience working with Liz. She's incredibly easy to talk to, always attentive, and brings a clear, goal-oriented approach to our sessions. Her knowledge of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been incredibly helpful with managing anxiety and depression. I've felt genuinely supported throughout our time together and would highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective therapist.
Verified patient
Elizabeth is an empathetic and caring therapist who genuinely wants to see me grow and develop. She is supportive and encouraging, but also curious. She often references things I've shared in previous sessions and threads through my different experiences, which is super helpful to see how my experiences relate or intersect. It's been great working with Elizabeth, I definitely recommend!
Verified patient
So thankful to be working with Elizabeth! She is a great objective listener and has given me some great advice and tools to help me in my day to day. She is honest and always makes me feel validated and comfortable.
Verified patient
I found my therapist after being referred to a pactitioner who was ultimately not taking new patients. I couldn’t be more glad I did, because Liz and I are going on one year together! As a provider, Liz takes a holistic approach to care. There is no application of care that applies to everyone and Liz intrinsically understands this, which I appreciate as her patient. Your care will be tailored to fit your needs, and there is as much flexibility in scheduling as you may need. As a therapist, Liz is an amazing partner and her guidance and support have been invaluable in helping me get to where I want to be with my care. Despite the fact that I see Liz virtually, she is present, engaged and invested and I never feel the “loss” of not being able to meet in person. I couldn't recommend Liz more highly!
Verified patient
Liz takes a holistic approach to care, which means that your needs will always be centered and addressed. Friendly, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable, I have had almost a year with Liz and I am so grateful for the partnership and guidance she has exercised throughout. The factors that brought me to therapy are still factors, but my toolkit has grown by leaps and bounds and I feel better equipped to understand and work on myself with Liz’s guidance. Doing virtual sessions has also been very helpful, as it allows me the flexibility to set the pace and tone of our visits without ever feeling like we are in separate places. I couldn’t recommend Liz enough, and am so grateful for her care.
Verified patient
I’ve been seeing Liz for a few months now and have had a such a great experience with her. She very easy to talk and open up to, and I’ve found such great results with her straightforward guidance and kind validation. She has encouraged and motivated me to change the way I think about the things that affect me in a much more productive and non-self deprecating way, which at one point thought was impossible. I find her character to be very inspiring and would like to some day be as strong and supportive as her. I have been dealing my issues for as long as I can remember, and when I came to her I wasn’t sure I could change….but working with her has made me feel like I am becoming a better person who can overcome the obstacles that bring me anxiety for the first time in my life. I still have much to work on but Liz has greatly impacted my well being in such a positive way that I could not recommend her enough.
Verified patient
I’ve had many therapists over the past 10 years and Liz is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had! So awesome and really helpful. Highly recommended.
Verified patient
Working with Liz has been an incredibly transformative experience. She is highly attuned to my needs, consistently respectful of my time, and brings a warm, thoughtful presence to each session. Her guidance has played a significant role in my personal growth, and I’ve noticed meaningful progress in both my mindset and emotional well-being. It’s truly been a pleasure to work with her, and I’m grateful for the support and insight she continues to provide.
Verified patient
Liz is a person I can singlehandedly credit with saving and changing my life forever. She is a very patient therapist, with a lot of empathy/ sympathy for others, and above all is very open minded and makes me feel comfortable sharing everything going on that is troubling me. She gives practical solutions, suggests profound and well-researched passages/books/ articles to better explore issues + coping mechanisms, and overall is a realistic and very helpful therapist. She has helped me through some of the most traumatic times in my life and helped me get over lifelong struggles, and I can confidently say she is the best therapist a person could ask for! She is also very culturally sensitive, understands ethnic family dynamics, and more, which was a big help for me! 100% would recommend to all!
Verified patient
Liz has all the characteristics I was looking for in a mental health professional. She’s understanding, kind and most importantly provides a safe space to allow me to feel comfortable in expressing my feelings. She has helped me tremendously in navigating grief, depression, and anxiety.

It was a great first step to get back into therapy. Elizabeth made me feel very comfortable and I’m looking forward to speaking with her again next week.
Verified patient
Elizabeth on our first session was a great listener and gave thoughtful insight to my current situation. While this being my first session of therapy I'm glad we were able to pinpoint the core of the rest of the sessions. I'm hopeful for the help Elizabeth will provide in the future!
Verified patient
Elizabeth was kind and genuine. Though she could not see me as per clinical policy, I highly recommend her as someone to talk with.
