Elizabeth Bogus

Initiating your therapy endeavor can seem overwhelming, especially when your thoughts and emotions feel out of control, complicated, or just too private to share. Choosing to engage in psychotherapy is courageous. Many of my clients believe they are stuck in unhealthy thinking patterns, confusing relationships, or are uncertain about their career. I provide a confidential, non-judgemental place to gain a deeper understanding of your feelings, gain clarity in your thoughts, and learn ways to cope with the many challenging aspects of life.

I have worked in human services for over 20 years and have been a practicing psychotherapist for the past 10 years, principally in community-based primary care settings. My experience has provided me with the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds and a variety of life experiences. Understanding that each individual is unique, I provide a sensitive, keenly tailored therapeutic experience for all my clients.

I view therapy is collaborative, strength-based, and transparent. During our initial session we will get to know each other and establish the foundation for your therapeutic process, emphasizing your comfort. We will clearly identify your goals so that we have a shared understanding of what you hope to achieve.

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and incorporates elements of narrative therapy, polyvagal therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. As we continue to work together, I will use a feedback-informed approach, regularly checking in on how the process is working for you. Your input along with the use of validated measurement tools, will guide our approach towards learning, understanding, and achievement of your therapeutic goals.

As your therapist, you can expect me to be inquisitive, collaborative, transparent, caring, knowledgeable and goal oriented. My initial intention will be to gain the fullest possible understanding of who you are wand your overall live experiences, as we identify your unique challenges. Follow-up sessions generally consist of fewer questions from me and more space for you to talk, reflect, and process.

If you have been considering therapy, I would be honored to engage in this process with you. I welcome you to set up a free consultation so that we might explore your potential for growth through therapy. I look forward to hearing from you.
