Accepting referrals in NC & VA... I believe that true healing and growth emerge from understanding and addressing the social and systemic contexts that shape our lives. My approach is person-centered, grounded in empathy, social justice, and the mind-body connection. I work with "othered identities” to explore their intersectionality, challenge oppressive narratives, and break free from cycles of generational trauma. I also assist couples navigating cross-cultural, mixed-heritage dynamics and extended family structures. More generally, I work with those seeking an alternative to medicalized therapy.

I have experience working with adults, adults with SPMI, adolescents, families and couples seeking support to overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, mens issues, parenting issues, anger, self-esteem, and other challenges that arise in life.
I provide individual and couple’s counseling for anxiety, depression, life transition, identity exploration, traumatic experiences, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, and more.
Life can be unexpected and overwhelming, and sometimes we find ourselves getting a bit lost along the way. Perhaps you have some added stressors, are in a time of transition, or just can’t seem to enjoy life to the fullest extent. This is an excellent opportunity to have some assistance. I provide counseling services to adults and adolescents and have a holistic approach to wellness. This means I believe that the mind and body are interconnected, and both need to be looked after to be the best version of ourselves. I use collaboration to help you create goals, set boundaries, and learn skills to facilitate healing and growth.

By developing a warm, empathic, trusting and collaborative relationship with clients, together, we explore how clients can take risks by relating differently & naming needs.
Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change.

My name is Elizabeth Pugliese, I work with individuals, couples and families to support them navigating life challenges through a holistic and trauma-informed approach to find fulfillment in life.
It can be exhausting to navigate life when isolated, facing one stressor after another, feeling depressed or anxious, or trying to recover from a traumatic experience. For many, these experiences interfere with day-to-day life such as our relationships, work, school, and more. For many, therapy can provide needed support. The most significant part of therapy is your relationship with your therapist, this is why I approach therapy by getting to know you as a whole person and use a collaborative approach to help empower your innate strengths.
