Elizabeth Ormes is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counseling who offers psychotherapy, with both in-person and telehealth options in Illinois, specifically the SW Chicago Suburbs in Joliet, IL. She specializes in healing from chronic and complex trauma of childhood and the related impact on one’s emotional and behavioral health and social skills and relationships. Often her clients are diagnosed with various anxiety, depression, or adjustment disorders that negatively impact their health and life.

Elizabeth sees a wide range of clients, from adolescents to older adults, and engages in family counseling with impacted parents and their children. Many of her clients seek out therapy due to an acute crisis or challenging major life adjustment event. Often they describe that they’ve become stuck, overwhelmed, or are struggling because their previous coping and relating skills are no longer working for them.

Elizabeth works to help her clients learn and implement practical skills to reset their body’s response to stress events, understand how to change thoughts to improve regulating their emotions and behaviors, and build positive interpersonal skills to improve relationships. Some of the therapeutic modalities you might have heard that she uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Therapy, Somatic Healing and Mindfulness practices.

Elizabeth is a passionate advocate for her clients while holding them accountable to implement the changes they seek in order to meet their goal of becoming the best version of themselves!
