When a child has been through more than they should, or when a family is navigating trauma, foster care, or adoption, the right support changes everything. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of whatever life has handed them, including the complex emotions that come with foster care and adoption experiences.

With more than a 10 years in mental health, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide and support as you build on your strengths and work toward the future you envision.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Barbera. I have my license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) and am a registered Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT). I specialize in creative therapy and nervous system regulation. I work with all ages and a variety of diagnosis. I view therapy as a collaborative practice.

I am interested in helping individuals navigate life transitions, work-life stressors and pressure at work. I maintain a small and focused practice with availability exclusively during evenings and weekends. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Public Health (MPH) from Boston University, as well as a PhD in Social Policy from Brandeis University. My career has focused on promoting community health (individuals and families) through treatment, trauma-informed crisis intervention, trainings, policy, and research.

I am a creative, strengths-based, and empowering clinical mental health counselor who believes deeply in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Humanistic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Experiential Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I also work from a person-centered lens, prioritizing what matters most to you as we navigate your unique path toward healing and clarity.

I bring seven years of experience in crisis intervention, which has strengthened my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and steady during life’s most challenging moments. As I transition into work focused on ongoing therapeutic relationships, I am excited to partner with clients who are ready to step into their growth, explore new perspectives, and become the best version of themselves.

As a Christian, my faith shapes my worldview, and I am comfortable integrating spirituality into the counseling process for clients who desire it. My goal is always to meet clients where they are, honor their values, and support their journey with respect and intention.

I look forward to empowering you to step outside your comfort zone, build meaningful insight, and cultivate the life you were created to live.
