Elizabeth Smith

Hello, I'm Elizabeth. Whatever the challenges, you do not have to navigate them alone. I believe meaningful change is facilitated through empathic, authentic connection in an emotionally safe space free from judgment. A strong therapeutic connection can provide the security and trust needed to explore the parts of ourselves we often hide - parts shaped by past experiences, relationships, and wounds that may leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, ashamed, or stuck. It's such an honor to support my clients as they heal, strengthen relationships with themselves and others, and move toward greater insight and well-being. After 23 years working in the public sector as a high school counselor and then an MFT, I am opening Woodsong Therapy—a place where I can offer the in-depth, client-centered care people deserve. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY Drawing from attachment-based, trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to move toward healing, self-understanding, and lasting change. I am passionate about working with survivors of developmental, relational, and sexual trauma and have training in evidence-based trauma modalities and extensive experience working with survivors. I also specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, self-esteem, and grief and loss. COUPLES AND RELATIONAL THERAPY Relationships have the power to both wound and heal. I work with couples, parents/ teens, and couples navigating separation, divorce, and co-parenting challenges. Grounded in attachment science and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help clients understand the deeper emotions and unmet needs that often drive conflict, disconnection, and relationship distress. Together, we explore the patterns that keep people stuck, strengthen emotional bonds, and create new ways of relating that foster trust, understanding, and resilience. GROUP THERAPY To help individuals find healing and support within a caring community, I strive to consistently offer group therapy. Group therapy is often seen as a supplemental or less effective form of support, but nothing could be further from the truth. Group therapy can be a source of deep healing within a supportive community of people who resonate with our struggles on an intimate level. Life can be very isolating, and we all need community now more than ever. Group therapy is a cost-effective and equally beneficial form of therapy for many issues and concerns. If I have enough interest, I would love to offer three groups to start in early fall 2026. Please call or email to set up a free intake conversation and to be added to the participation list. * Divorce or separation * Sexual abuse survivors for adults * Social anxiety for teens aged 15 -18.
