Elizabeth Droppers

Elizabeth Droppers is a compassionate Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based, non-pathologizing, experiential therapy model that enhances emotional regulation. Her journey with IFS therapy ignited her passion for helping others experience its transformative potential. Elizabeth often hears IFS described as 'what clients hope therapy would be'—a genuinely accepting and respectful approach to all thoughts and feelings. Rather than imposing change, IFS encourages curiosity toward oneself, and from this compassionate foundation, Elizabeth has had the privilege of witnessing enduring growth in both herself and her clients. She believes that a little kindness goes a long way. As one listens closely to their thoughts and feelings, it is normal to observe tension and contradictions—such as the struggle between wanting to exercise and the desire to relax on the couch. Elizabeth addresses these complexities with understanding. While some may question why they would see a Marriage and Family Therapist for individual therapy, Elizabeth's training allows her to view people within the context of their relationships, both past and present, highlighting the significant benefit of IFS therapy. Her belief is rooted in the understanding that our relationship with ourselves is of utmost importance.
