I am currently not seeing Elizabeth regularly as I once did and I read in a recent email from her that she is possibly stepping down from therapy and focus on being director of her practice. But before she steps down, I want to mention how great she was as my therapist. So here's my review.
I initially came to Elizabeth when I had made the mistake of falling head over heels for someone who did not feel the same way. As you can imagine, that cause me a lot of heartache. She was very good in the beginning stages and guided me through this heartache. Then I was about to start a grad school program that would be a waste of time and money for me to come. (To make a long story short, I ended up being part of a class action lawsuit against PriceWaterhouse, one of the largest accounting firms, for age discrimination. PriceWaterhouse settled rather than take it to court.) The grad school program would be a major stressor for me. During that time, Elizabeth was always there for me and helped me as I was experiencing a program that should have been a help but wasn't.
Eventually, the grad school program ended and the heartache was gone, but I continue to see Elizabeth because I really liked her and found her to be a great support on whatever was going in my daily life.
Then, I came down with a severe case of OCD and Elizabeth honestly knew it wasn't her specialty and we would both agree I need to find an OCD expert. Her confessing it wasn't her specialty made her better in my eyes. There are therapists who think they can deal with any problem that they face. Honest therapists know they cannot handle every issue and that's what Elizabeth was.
As I mentioned earlier, she is stepping down from her therapy role and is about to become director of a program, A Better Life Therapy. I am sure the people she staff will be excellent as her. But I want her to know before she goes on what a great therapist she is and the therapy universe will be missing a true angel like her. read more
