About Elizabeth Malchow

Hello, I’m Liz!

Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs!

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let’s get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life.

I look forward to working with you!

“Liz has been incredibly helpful! Her ability to help me sort through heavy emotions and practical applications have been outstanding. I highly recommend working with her!”

“My teenage son likes working with Elizabeth. He prefers the virtual option to in-person therapy.”

“Elizabeth is very patient and understanding. She gently reminds me of things I have identified as important in previous conversations and lets me re-examine those. Very intuitive; Sometimes it seems she knows what I am thinking before I have identified it myself.”
