Getting to know Elizabeth Watkins

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth! My name is Elizabeth Watkins and I am a LCSW serving in the state of Florida in the field of Social Work for almost 20 years. I believe in a supportive approach to therapy and value the individual's experiences and input into their treatment plan. I view every client with empathy and altruism with an emphasis on collaborative and compassionate care. My approach Therapeutic interventions most commonly implemented include SFT, CBT, Brief task-oriented therapy, MI, Grief and Bereavement, Family systems, Conflict Resolution and Problem Solving, Existential Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness. My focus I have many years of working with the aging population and college-level demographic; as well as vast experience working with Chronic Medical conditions, Substance Abuse, and Mental Health diagnoses. These are all populations I am extremely comfortable working with. My communication style Approachable, non-judgmental, empathetic, and sympathetic, I am comfortable and confident in my clinical skill set and I believe clients sense that I am genuine. I believe in forming honest meaningful relationships with clients while also modeling healthy boundaries. My journey to mental healthcare When I was 15 years old I went on a mission trip with my church to a third-world country. I have always been an empath, sensitive to other humans, I have always had the "gift of gab" and the ability to make friends and connections with people from all walks of life. It was on that mission trip however that I experienced for the first time true poverty and a world "without". People who did not know me accepted me into their homes and schools; it was the gift of connections that I formed with people on the other side of the world in this very short period of time and I saw the power of human kindness and compassion and it changed the course of my life forever. I have also experienced grief and loss and the impacts of addiction and mental illness on family systems firsthand.
