I am a clinical social worker and am licensed in Maryland and Washington, D.C. I have over 20 years of professional work experience providing counseling to adults and families. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Virginia and a Master of Social Work degree from Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
I use a collaborative, compassionate, solution-focused, and strength-based approach to counseling in an effort to foster healing and resilience. I have experience in helping clients with a variety of concerns including stress and anxiety, grief and loss, adoption issues (for adoptive parents, birth parents, and adoptees), motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, and depression. I also have additional experience facilitating workshops, trainings and support groups on a variety of subjects.
I believe in starting counseling where you, the client, are. You have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Counseling is a valuable resource when facing challenges. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and help you navigate your questions, worries, and concerns so you can meet your goals.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Eliza Niemann. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Eliza is both compassionate and helpful. She doesn’t just listen, she compassionately offers opportunities to rethink your own mindset and also rethink the mindset of others you may be engaging with (whether that is a spouse, family, or friend). Every session we have she is respectful of my perspective, opinion, and actions but she always makes think about those thoughts/actions regardless of them being “correct”. Perspective matters and I appreciate her 10,000ft view so much more than I thought I would.
She has been an absolutely fantastic way to center myself on my pursuit of simply being a better version of who I am.

I lucked out. We were a good fit from the first contact. Before starting I was really concerned about finding the correct therapist for me. I’m still confident.

From the moment I started with Eliza, I felt completely comfortable. It took me a long time to get back to therapy but she set my mind at ease right away. Eliza is not only a great listener but also provides thoughtful and practical feedback. I would definitely recommend her!
