Welcome, my name is Elizabeth Greene (Liz) and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I hold a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University. I have worked in the mental health profession with diverse populations and ages for over 17 years.

You are my ideal client if you are seeking to understand Relationships; the one with your inner-self and/or your relationship with others by seeking to improve various types of relationships such as: Marriage/Couples/Intimate (sexual/non-sexual), Interpersonal, Professional (performance anxiety/high-pressure stress), and Family Relationships. My ideal clientele also includes those heavily impacted by Military related issues, Athletes struggling with performance anxiety, burnout, motivation, & confidence and others seeking Mental and Emotional Wellness support during life’s difficult times & transitions.

Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and relational pain through an attachment-based, experiential approach rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

My work is informed by attachment science and neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, emotionally attuned relationships. AEDP recognizes that when emotional pain is met with genuine connection, compassion, and support, the nervous system naturally moves toward healing, integration, and greater resilience.

Heather Figi, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes the best psychiatric care begins with understanding the person behind the symptoms.

Her practice is guided by two simple beliefs:

• People begin to heal when they feel truly seen.
• We are as unique on the inside as we are on the outside.

My goal is to understand you—not just your symptoms. I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, burnout, and other mental health conditions. I also have a special interest in helping high-achieving women navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and perimenopause.

During our visits we'll talk about what's been going on, what's worked (and what hasn't), and what you're hoping to get back to. Medication may be part of the plan, but we'll also look at things like sleep, lifestyle, hormones when appropriate, relationships, and other factors that affect mental health.

Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I spent more than 25 years teaching violin. Looking back, I realize I was learning skills I still use every day: listening carefully, meeting people where they are, and recognizing that everyone learns—and heals—in their own way.

I earned my Master's degree from Frontier Nursing University and am licensed to practice in Virginia and Maryland. Whether this is your first time seeking psychiatric care or you're looking for a fresh perspective, I hope you'll leave our first visit feeling heard and with a plan that makes sense for your life.
