I’m also a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I specialize in treating clients 18+ experiencing issues with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship issues, work- and school-related stress, pre- and post-divorce, those in recovery from substance use disorders, trauma, and various adjustment issues.

Hello, I'm Elizabeth Middleton, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky and the owner of Middleton Counseling and Wellness, LLC. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life's challenges in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

I also enjoy working with children and families through play-based interventions and developmentally appropriate therapeutic approaches.

My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that healing happens through connection, trust, and collaboration, and I am committed to helping each client build on their strengths while developing practical tools for lasting change.

I am very invested in helping clients reach their goals for a better life. I like for our sessions to be relaxed and conversational. I feel I need to get to know clients on a personal level before I can help them.
