Hi, I'm Elizabeth Erban. A mother. A traveler. A bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in Florida. For more than 18 years, I have worked with adults, couples, families, teens and children. I use a collaborative approach and put a lot of focus on building relationships with my clients. I have partnered with clients working through family issues, relationship difficulties, parenting struggles, work stress, depression, and anxiety. I can provide support for parents of young children from a different perspective than most: endorsed in infant mental health by the Florida Association of Infant Mental Health (FAIMH), I am an expert in children from birth through five years of age. I also have experience working with loved ones of those with personality disorders. I am not the expert on your life -- in fact, you are -- but I can help identify themes and develop insight into why you make certain choices. I keep my focus on you as an individual, how you are affected by and affect those around you. I prefer not to focus on labels, knowing each person is different and their experiences are very different. I look forward to working with you!

I'm a LMFT with over 10 years experience working with at-risk youth, families and young adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns to include; anxiety , depression, life changes, family conflict and parenting issues. I also, have helped clients dealing with physical, emotional and sexual trauma, as well as young adults just starting out in their careers. I got into counseling because I wanted to help others. I realized at a young age people felt comfortable talking to me about their problems. In life, no one is immune from trials and tribulations. However, I believe every hurdle we overcome makes us that much stronger/ confident. I use both CBT -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic Therapy with my clients. I use CBT because I believe we can always restructure how we see the world and make changes in our behavior for the better. Also, Humanistic Approach-I’m an Existentialist, because I believe we are human and we make mistakes. Just because we go down one path and it did not work, out, does not mean we cannot turn around and take another path that is more fulfilling/ rewarding. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am a warm, engaging and compassionate therapist . I do not believe in stigmatizing or labels. If you are seeking therapy you have already taken the first step. Give me the opportunity to support you on this journey. I look forward to working with you and believe we can truly make progress towards your goals.
