About Elsbeth Riemer

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 caring, informative and is patient and helpful. <br /> She helps me look at different avenues to pursue. <br /> Elsbeth is detailed.”

“Elsbeth is super experienced, feeling that during the sessions. She understands me ( us) well and recommends us ways to figure out the situation better next time. I loved how she asks questions and dig dive to main reasons and help to solve those with exercises we do together with my husband. She is perfect. Thank you so much Elsbeth.”

“Elsbeth is great, so far she gives very good homework and helpful advices to us. Helpful to talk and work on the topics we’ve been discussing.”

“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”
