I believe you are your own source of strength, healing and recovery. I will empower you to find the wellness that lies within. My name is Elizabeth Purto Bahner, the therapist of Wellness Within Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who is here to help you face a difficult time or make a change in your life. I have over 9 years of mental health field experience including working with individuals, families, children, young adults and specialized populations like the Assyrian community, the LGBTQ community, postpartum and new mothers. I speak Assyrian fluently.
I specialize in helping people achieve their personal goals by identifying and coping with the issues that are causing them distress. I am knowledgeable in treating depression, trauma, anxiety, body image issues, and more. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and specialize in working with young adults, postpartum, new mothers, women's issues and minority populations.
If you've thought about making a change in your life, or simply talking to someone, reach out and/or schedule an initial visit. Many times taking the first step is the hardest part. Let me help you through it.
