Elizabeth Black, LPC

Elizabeth Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a compassionate, story-centered approach to therapy. She earned her Master of Counseling degree from Spring Arbor University in 2015 and has seven years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and major life transitions. Her work centers on helping clients explore personal truths about themselves and their relationships while building practical skills for coping and growth.

Known for a laid-back and highly relational style, she aims to form an authentic therapeutic connection that makes the vulnerability of counseling more approachable. Elizabeth often blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative and psychodynamic approaches, and solution-focused work. She also offers coaching-oriented strategies when helpful, and she frequently challenges unhelpful thought patterns, provides direct feedback, and shares useful resources.

Elizabeth has experience working with young adults and a broad range of clients on issues including self-esteem, communication and boundary setting, family conflicts, career concerns, anger, body image, codependency, and panic symptoms. She describes therapy as a wise and brave step and views it as an honor to listen to each person's story and support them through their struggles. No concern is considered too small to address, and Elizabeth emphasizes that people do not have to face life’s challenges alone.
