About Elsbeth
I start therapy with radical acceptance crossed with family systems understanding. I am highly trained in anxiety, trauma, family issues/therapy, and experiential resilience to counter fear and phobias. I consider the whole person and their place in their life system(s). I use humor liberally to foster connectedness to the person, place, life of my clients. I tend to have a science/biology-based focus on how the human body influences and is influenced by the mind.

- “Elsbeth is a wonderful therapist- she is both empathetic and highly skilled at counseling. She listens but also asks important questions to build a better understanding of thoughts, feeling and behaviors so healthier patterns and strategies can emerge. She is a wonderful couples therapist, in particular!”
- “I enjoy Elsbeth’s experience and expertise but also her genuine and non judgmental attitude. It’s been helpful to have an outlet for my emotions and she has been a good support in helping me navigate certain challenges.”
- “Elsbeth got me through a crisis I was having with grief. She quickly tuned into what kind of person I am so was able to support me the way I needed it most. She respected my spiritual beliefs. I was surprised how quickly we bonded. She is a sweet soul!”
- “Elsbeth is kind and supportive and has given me many useful tools that I use daily to cope with anxiety.”
- “Very understanding and helpful!”
- “I have worked a few weeks (so far) with Elsbeth . She is kind, approachable and non judgmental. She listens , then assures you , and gets right to the point. She also suggests solutions in case it might be helpful to your situation. At times having an outside influence such as a therapist can point a new direction to move in or reinforce a positive method you may already have thought about yourself but were afraid to try. I have found Elsbeth easy to speak with. Just the right dose of smile and humor to keep things from becoming too difficult during therapy sessions. <br /> Would definitely recommend .”
- “Elsbeth has been a breath of fresh air. I feel like I could tell her anything. She’s on my side, and helpful in every way. I would recommend her to anyone! She understands things that no one else has ever seemed to understand. She is a true gem.”
- “Although I’ve only had two sessions with her I’m excited about every appointment to talk and work through things. I tell all my girlfriends about how amazing having an app like better help is especially when living on an island.”
- “Beth has helped me in a time in my life when I was suffering from a tremendous amount of anxiety. I've been able to transition from feeling overwhelmed and stuck, to focusing on what I can control and moving forward with a plan and support. Thank you Beth!”
- “We are very grateful for Elsbeth. I imagine we aren't the easiest couple to work with ☺️ but she does so with professionalism and authenticity. Not all therapists are able to meet clients wherever they are in their journey without judgement the way she is.”
- “Elsbeth is supportive and encouraging. Helps you explore your boundaries but without pressure. She’s also fun and has a sense of humor, which is important for good mental health!”
- “She takes the time to understand me as a person instead of just providing advice I don't need”
