Elizabeth DeFanti

A warm welcome, I'm Elizabeth. It takes courage to seek mental health counseling, and I admire you for taking this step in support of your own self-care and wellness. I specialize in resilience counseling to foster well-being and flourishing in a way that aligns with what matters most to you. Together, we can balance tending to concerns, stressors, and symptoms with your inherent resources, enhancing what’s “strong” so you can fully engage with your life, experience joy, and move through challenges with resourcefulness and ingenuity.

My approach is personalized to you, full of welcoming and deep curiosity about you and all that arises in our shared space. With attention to your mind, body, heart, and spirit, I draw on principles and techniques from Positive Psychology, which is strength-affirming and focuses on resiliency, living well, and meaningful fulfillment. I also creatively integrate various other therapies in my work.

We'll begin with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions and share more about yourself and your goals for counseling. I strive to provide a safe space, honoring you with respect, nonjudgment, and compassion along your unique journey. Our time spent together will be collaborative and creative where you are the trusted expert in your life, and I am a guide to assist you in achieving your desired goals.
