“I had a truly positive experience with Elizabeth. She is incredibly easy to talk to and created a virtual environment where I feel understood and supported. Her compassion shows in the way she listened carefully to my concerns and took them seriously. Additionally, she provided helpful information about my condition, which made me feel more informed and no longer embarrassed about my issues. Most importantly, she's developing a thoughtful treatment plan that I know will give me real confidence about moving forward with my challenges. I’m so grateful to have found someone so skilled, caring, and non-judgmental.”

Getting to know Elizabeth Dessify

I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and overcome personal struggles. It is my goal to help you navigate life transitions, process trauma, and develop skills to live a productive and happy life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Are you feeling stuck - whether due to past trauma, overwhelming anxiety, or persistent depression—but ready to take steps toward healing? Do you need a safe space to process emotions, develop coping skills, and build self-awareness? Is your goal is to break free from negative patterns, find confidence, and create a life you love, enjoy and engage in? You crave growth and healing because you know you deserve peace and happiness. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health concerns, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery, and get you to your best self! A warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented approach to therapy tailors each session to meet your personal needs. I utilize evidence-based techniques to help clients process past experiences (including trauma), challenge negative thought patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies. My goal is to empower you with the tools you need to build resiliency.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

All of my sessions are conducted online so we can meet while you're in the comfort of your own home! The first sessions is a traditional intake that provides you with the space to share your story with me and what brings you to therapy. From there, we will create a treatment plan with goals catered to your needs and vision for yourself through therapy. Our sessions will be structured around those goals whether it's through traditional talk therapy, CBT activities, or EMDR.
