Getting to know Elizabeth Johnstone

I support individuals through a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, with a special focus on pre- and postpartum mental health. My goal is to help clients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing process.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping clients build practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and interpersonal difficulties. I work collaboratively with each client to create a safe, supportive space.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I support clients in developing practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and emotional stress, improve communication and relationship skills, and build healthier thought patterns. For those navigating pregnancy or new parenthood, our work may focus on adjusting to identity changes, managing mood shifts, and strengthening support systems. I have a very comfortable, down-to-earth engagement style. I have frequently been told by clients that I am "easy to talk to". My goal is to get to know you and create an environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and ideas so we can get to the root of challenges and develop tools to help cope with and shift negative thought patterns.
