I’m Elizabeth Jensema, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting adults navigating mental health challenges and addiction. Over the years, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line—it happens through connection, compassion, and the courage to take one step at a time.

My approach is rooted in meeting you exactly where you are. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, we’ll work together to identify goals that feel meaningful and achievable for you. I bring a blend of warmth, humor, and practicality to the therapy room, helping you move forward while keeping things grounded and human.

I believe deeply in the power of reassurance and shared humanity. You’re not alone in your struggles—everyone carries something, and reaching out is a sign of strength. My hope is that you feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely seen as we navigate this process together.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I provide therapy for adults who are struggling with:

Anxiety, worry, and chronic stress
Depression, low mood, or loss of motivation
Trauma-related symptoms and the impact of past experiences
Addiction and recovery-related challenges
Life transitions, identity shifts, and major changes
Relationship stress, boundaries, and communication difficulties
Grief, loss, and emotional overwhelm
Low self-esteem, self-criticism, or feeling “not enough”
Burnout, compassion fatigue, and work-related stress
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of next steps

A bit more about me and what to expect when we work together:

My approach: My approach is tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. My communication style is calm, relaxed, and personable. I strive to provide a welcoming space for clients to openly share to their comfort level. I provide support and guidance while clients are on their healing journey, incorporating humor and fun along the way. During our first therapy session together, we will discuss what you have been struggling with lately and what brought you to therapy. You can expect a very laid-back and supportive environment, I will help to guide you as needed. I also like to ask questions about your history to get a nice full picture.

Personalized Care: I like to take time to get to know my clients and build trust, allowing the space and time needed to feel comfortable sharing openly. Over time, we will work together to set goals that are most appropriate for what you want to accomplish while in therapy.
Compassionate Support: I prioritize a nurturing and empathetic environment to help you feel safe and understood.
Active Collaboration: This is a partnership where we'll work together to navigate your path to healing and growth.
Evidence-Based Techniques: Most often I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients reframe their thoughts and emotions so they can move forward in a positive direction. I utilize proven methods to ensure you receive the most effective and up-to-date care.
Continuous Growth: Our work together will be an ongoing process of learning, adapting, and evolving to meet your needs.
