Elizabeth Co, LCSW(She/Her/Hers)

Liz Co (LCSW) works with clients who feel things intensely and who want a therapist with the depth and compassion of one who's been there. She especially connects with people who are neurodivergent (diagnosed or not), multicultural, children of immigrants, or otherwise feel like they bridge space between different worlds.

Her clients are self-aware, down-to-earth, and smart, but they can’t always feel their inherent worth or find their place in the world. They work hard to manage their sensitive and quirky nervous systems (think ADHD, Autism, HSP, or other neurodivergence) in a world that’s not designed for them. They may even succeed at getting everything accomplished, but lose track of their own needs and wants. Relationships—finding and maintaining them— may feel like another full-time job, or a pipe-dream, depending on their environment.

Working so hard every day—to be high-performing, responsible, and just…functional— hasn’t provided the connection or joy they’ve always wanted. They recognize (the hell out of) patterns they want to change; they hear whispers of their heart’s desires; and at some point, they just go for it.

Liz uses IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help each client get to know and care for their nervous system; to learn about its needs, vulnerabilities, and gifts; and to set their own priorities for life.

This work takes courage and commitment. But the payoff is hard to describe, because usually it’s a way of being that hardly seemed possible at the outset.

Liz holds a secure, focused, and curious space for this work. Sessions happen in settings that help soothe the nervous system: semi-indoors, outdoors, or online. She warmly welcomes people who exist outside of dominant structures, and is deeply committed to learning about each person’s experience from them.
