Elizabeth Vondemkamp, LICSW
Life may look different than you imagined it would. A relationship has changed, your family looks different than you expected, work or school has taken an unexpected turn or you've experienced a loss that has made you second guess what’s next. You may feel overwhelmed, uncertain or stuck in patterns you aren't sure how to change. When life doesn't unfold the way we expected, having the space to slow down, gain perspective and figure out what you need can make all the difference.
In therapy we'll look at how your thoughts, reactions, and everyday choices may be contributing to the challenges you're experiencing. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll identify patterns of thinking that may be keeping you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. We’ll practice ways to approach different situations. Through Motivational Interviewing, we'll explore what matters most to you, work through feelings of uncertainty about making changes and identify steps that feel realistic and meaningful. Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, adjusting to a major life change or trying to feel more confident in your decisions we'll work together to help you move from feeling stuck to making changes that align with the life you want.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're unsure what to expect or how to put what you're feeling into words. You might be used to managing everything on your own or feel uncertain about whether talking to someone will really make a difference. You don't need to have all the answers before getting started. Therapy is an opportunity to slow down, gain a better understanding of yourself, and have someone in your corner as you navigate life's challenges. With a calm, straightforward, and compassionate approach, I'll work alongside you to identify what's important, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave therapy feeling more confident, balanced, and at peace with the choices you're making.
