Elizabeth Keller, LSW

There are many reasons why you may be looking into therapy but whatever the reason, I applaud you for taking these first steps forward, even if you may not know yet where you’re going. I’m committed to providing a partnership in your healing and a safe space for you to feel seen and heard as you unpack and sort through your “stuff”.

 

For the past 20 years I’ve been working with children, adults, and families who have experienced the most difficult times of their lives. My first job in the field was as a caseworker for Berks County Children and Youth Services. I worked with families in the midst of abuse and neglect and learned so much about building positive working relationships with all types of people (children, parents, grandparents, extended family members, and foster families). After leaving BCCYS I worked as an oncology social worker at the Reading Hospital. During my time there I was able to practice my clinical skills as I provided support to patients going through a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Many times, however, my patients were dealing with much more than their cancer diagnosis such as existing mental health issues, trauma, addiction, sexuality/body image struggles, LGBTQ/identity issues, domestic violence, life transitions, limited coping skills, parenting struggles, and grief/loss. It was through my work there that I witnessed the resilience and bravery of the human spirit and the power in connection carrying you through the hardest times. It’s a privilege to be even a small part of that journey and I would be privileged to walk with you wherever your path takes you.

 

I have chosen to learn and practice many different modalities of care such as Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy; which really just means that we will work together on the goals that YOU have from a bunch of different playbooks. I hope to be able to show you how your mind and body can start to get acquainted with each other because everything you need to be successful and free is already inside you. I would love to be able to help you access what you feel is holding you back and allow it space and a voice so that eventually you can grow into the person you’ve wanted to be but maybe thought wasn’t possible.

Healing is possible and you deserve it!
