I have more than 15 years of experience providing mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care while fostering strong therapeutic relationships with my patients.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from York College of Pennsylvania in 2005, my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Drexel University in 2016, and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University in 2025.
In addition to my clinical practice, I currently serve as the Director of the Nurse Practitioner Program at York College of Pennsylvania. In this role, I am dedicated to preparing the next generation of advanced practice nurses while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.
I am passionate about empowering patients through education and shared decision-making. By building meaningful rapport and taking the time to understand each individual's unique needs, I help children, adolescents, and adults explore personalized treatment options and make informed decisions about their mental health care
With over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life’s challenges, I know how difficult the decision to seek help can often be.

Welcome to Thurber Counseling! My name is Liz and I have a background in mental health and school counseling.
Seeking deeper connection, balance, or clarity in your relationships or personal life? I’m here to help you move through anxiety, relational stress, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. I specialize in working with women and couples navigating communication challenges, boundary setting, and emotional overwhelm.
Whether you’re managing the stress of daily life, rebuilding after a breakup, or hoping to reconnect as a couple, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your story and find meaningful, lasting change. My approach blends CBT, Gestalt therapy, and mind-body techniques to help you feel more empowered and in tune with yourself and others.
I offer both individual and couples counseling, and I welcome all stages of partnership—from premarital and parenting to separation support. I also include partnered sessions for individuals when helpful, to practice communication skills and relational healing.
Sessions are available online or in person in either Gettysburg or at my serene Aspers farm office in Adams County, PA.
I am a compassionate, approachable, and nonjudgmental therapist who strives to create a safe and supportive environment for every client. During our first session, I make it a priority to emphasize that therapy is a space free from judgment and blame. As human beings, we all experience challenges, setbacks, and mistakes throughout our lives, and I believe these experiences are a natural part of personal growth.
While I serve in the role of therapist, I do not view myself as superior to those I work with. Instead, I value collaboration, mutual respect, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. I believe that meaningful progress occurs when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their treatment.
Honesty and transparency are central to my practice. Together, we will develop individualized goals that reflect your unique needs, values, and aspirations rather than pursuing a predetermined or "easy" path. I recognize that no one has all the answers, and I am committed to being honest when I do not know something. In those instances, I will make every effort to seek out accurate information and resources to best support your growth and well-being.
My goal is to work alongside you as a partner in your journey, helping you build the skills, insight, and confidence needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
