Elizabeth Kirichenko

Hi, I'm Liz. I'm an LPC, Registered Play Therapist and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist based in Austin, Texas and I offer warm, judgment-free in-person therapy in SW Austin and convenient online therapy for individuals anywhere in Texas.

For nearly 20 years, I've supported adults, adolescents and children in Texas. I offer compassionate, high-quality, easy-to-access therapy for the people who often put themselves last.

My clients are smart, high-functioning people who are usually great at what they do — but who are struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, ADHD, or the emotional weight of a major life transition. They don't need to be fixed. They need space to be heard, and support in reconnecting with their own strengths.

Sessions with me are warm and collaborative. I bring compassion and lightness even to the hard conversations, because healing doesn't have to feel heavy every step of the way. My clients regularly describe me as warm, encouraging, calming, and effective.

I'm a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist. I approach every client with cultural humility and deep respect for your unique story, values, and strengths.

My approach

I draw from research-backed methods to help you build real, lasting change:

• Interpersonal Neurobiology
• Person-Centered Therapy
• Polyvagal Theory
• Mindfulness & Self-Compassion I look forward to meeting you and working together to achieve your mental health goals.
