My Approach
I’m Liz Yarock, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist working with adults and adolescents. I aim to create a warm and supportive space where you feel both understood and supported. I'm an active and collaborative therapist, offering thoughtful reflection and insight throughout our work together.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a psychodynamic and relational framework and integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt), acceptance and commitment therapy (act), mindfulness, and self-compassion. My intention is to help you better understand patterns and life experiences, develop greater self-awareness and self-trust, and incorporate practical strategies tailored to your individual needs.
Compassion is at the heart of my practice, as I believe meaningful change and healing begin when we feel truly seen and supported.

Life as a woman is inherently complex. Therapy for women provides a tailored treatment approach honoring the individuality and unique lived experience of each woman.
Anxiety
Find relief from worrying. Discover more joy and calm in the present. Live with more ease as you experience greater trust in your inner wisdom and resilience to cope.
Highly Sensitive Persons
Live in alignment with your sensitive temperament. Better support your sensitive nervous system, understand and embrace your authentic self, and discover that your sensitivities are your greatest gifts.
Relationships
Relationship challenges often arise in familial, romantic, work, and social dynamics. Create healthy boundaries, improve communication, and experience more fulfilling connections and belonging.

Life transitions both stressful and exciting often produce a sense of uncertainty, stress, and instability. Learn to approach life transitions with greater resilience, self-compassion, and ease.
