Elizabeth (Liz) Brodhag, MSW, LISW-S
She/Her
Liz believes that the brain (and its mind) is the most powerful muscle in the body. While we don’t know everything about the inner workings of our brain and mind, one thing we do know is that the mind is powerful. It can be our greatest asset but also our greatest challenge. Liz’s goal is to help clients gain more awareness of their mind, thought patterns, and limiting self-beliefs they hold about themselves. She aims to help clients create a more cohesive relationship with
the mind and self. Liz does this by helping clients focus on decreasing reactivity, practicing acceptance, and being more present. The hope is that this will help clients better deal with aversion and discomfort through these practices.
The main therapy modalities that Liz utilizes includes dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Along with her LISW, Liz is a certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA and yoga teacher, RYT-200, through Yoga Alliance.
Liz has experience working with clients experiencing chronic-health conditions, infertility and pregnancy loss, birth trauma, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Liz is currently accepting new clients.
