Getting to know Elizabeth Derickson

I help individuals and families navigate life’s most difficult transitions with compassion and evidence-based support. Drawing on over 25 years of experience in social services and 15 years in clinical therapy, I create a safe space where clients can heal, rebuild trust, and move forward with resilience. My passion is empowering people to strengthen relationships and find hope, even in the most challenging circumstances My approach My counseling approach is grounded in being trauma-informed, client-centered, and relationship-focused. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported, and I work to create that environment in every session. I draw from attachment theory and the developmental-relational framework, blending these perspectives with practical, evidence-based strategies that help clients build resilience and lasting change. I view counseling as a collaborative process—clients bring their lived experiences and strengths, while I offer guidance, support, and clinical tools to help them move toward their goals. Together, we identify patterns, explore emotions, and practice new skills that improve well-being and strengthen relationships. I balance empathy with structure, helping clients process difficult experiences while also developing concrete coping strategies that can be used in daily life. In my work, I pay close attention to the impact of stress, trauma, and family dynamics on both individuals and relationships. I strive to honor each client’s unique story and cultural identity while offering a space for growth and self-discovery. Whether the focus is managing anxiety or depression, navigating family conflict, or building healthier connections, my goal is to support clients in finding hope, balance, and a stronger sense of self. My focus I provide counseling for adults, children, and families who are navigating life’s challenges and transitions.
