Getting to know Elisabeth Ritter

Elisabeth focuses on holding a space centered on safety, compassion, curiosity, and kindness, recognizing the value of creating meaning from our lived experiences. She is a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist with a Master's in Dance and Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College. Elisabeth believes in a collaborative, affirmative, and client-centered psychotherapy, offering a variety of interventions to assist clients in reaching their therapeutic goals. She focuses on the whole person and one's authentic self, offering an empathic ear to better understand individual experiences. Elisabeth utilizes a strengths based approach, CBT and DBT-informed care as interventions, mindfulness techniques, and specializes in Dance/Movement Therapy to provide support through body-based interventions when words aren't available. In working with Elisabeth, clients have the opportunity to incorporate mindfulness based approaches that emphasize awareness of internal experience and the mind body connection, supporting emotional regulation and reflective insight. She is passionate about helping others navigate and decrease anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and grief. With Elisabeth's support, clients are able to navigate life transitions, improve self-esteem and body image, develop effective communication skills in relationships, and gain insight into patterns of behavior. She trusts that each person has the ability to become empowered through a greater sense of awareness, relief, and growth.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In therapy with me, you can expect a collaborative and compassionate approach focused on your unique needs and goals, "You drive the boat and I'll support, ask questions and guide us where we want to go." We'll work together to explore the patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back, and I'll support you in developing strategies for positive change. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. Whether you're navigating life's challenges, seeking personal growth, or working through specific issues, I'm here to help you find clarity and build a path forward that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I had an incredible experience with Greenpoint Therapy, thanks to Elisabeth. She combined professionalism with genuine empathy, making every session feel like a heartfelt chat with a close friend. Elisabeth created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable opening up, and her guidance was invaluable. Scheduling was always seamless—whether I needed to cancel, reschedule, or fit in a last-minute appointment during a tough time, she was always accommodating and made time for me. Each session became the best part of my week. I highly recommend Elisabeth for anyone seeking a therapist who blends expertise with personal connection.

I really enjoyed working with Elisabeth. She created a safe place for me to talk about the things I was having difficulty with.

I usually find the onboarding process cold and a little dehumanizing - “I answered a lot of these questions in the intake form, did you even read them?” But not with Elisabeth - empathetic and reflective from the start, hopeful for some progress but nice to know she’s actually listening from the start
