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!

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.
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.
