How is therapy with Elizabeth Milano unique?
Compassionate Customized Care
Elizabeth uses a warm, compassionate and accepting approach which is tailored to you based on your goals, personal history, current stressors and resources. Elizabeth seeks to truly understand you and collaborate with you. She supports you through painful moments while helping you to identify and address challenges that get in the way of your happiness.
Science Based Education
You may find that you truly want to be happy, manage stress effectively or feel calm but you struggle to know how. Elizabeth uses science backed techniques & teaches new skills while providing insight on unconscious thought processes that may be influencing your behaviors, thoughts and emotions. Therapy with Elizabeth can help you to help you learn to care for yourself, even if you have never truly been cared for in the way that you deserve to be.
Beginning with the End in Mind
Elizabeth will always be there if you need support, however her goal is never to keep people in therapy indefinitely. She aims to help people feel supported, gain insight, learn new techniques and maximize their potential. She essentially helps people to become their own therapist.
Because many people experience memory and concentration issues when they are dealing with mental distress, Elizabeth ends many sessions with a secure message full of practical information discussed during that session. This information is your to keep for life, as a reminder of your own customized approach to healing.
What can I expect in a therapy session?
