Elizabeth Gil

Elizabeth Gil, a licensed counselor (LCPC) and national certified counselor (NCC), believes that one of life’s most challenging yet crucial lessons is discovering what we need and learning how to express those needs. Understanding that not all of life’s challenges are meant to be navigated alone, she recognizes our innate desire for connectedness, empathy, and understanding. While individuals often possess the necessary strength within themselves, they may lack the tools to access it, which is where therapy becomes invaluable. Elizabeth fosters this connection through the therapeutic alliance, a relationship built on trust and empathy, making her clients feel at ease, nonjudged, and supported. Her approach to counseling is distinctly person-centered, tailoring her methods to each individual’s unique history, culture, and experiences. By integrating various therapeutic orientations such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, attachment theory, and psychodynamic approaches, she seeks to align with her clients’ specific needs, beliefs, and goals. Additionally, Elizabeth often employs homework assignments to extend therapeutic progress outside of sessions, ensuring clients make the most of their time together in pursuit of growth and healing.
