As we transition from the COVID 19 pandemic, and people face unprecedented challenges mental health needs are complex for people of all ages. I provide teletherapy sessions as well as some limited in person sessions. As always, I work collaboratively with clients using a relational lens to consider the meaning of important relationships, family, work, culture, health, trauma, special needs and more will be the basis of the therapeutic process. I like to think of therapy as a safe space that is a resource to have active conversation with privacy and dignity. I am happy to answer questions through a phone consultation.

When life seems overwhelming, you dont have to bear your pain alone. And when life seems the bleakest, having someone to share your innermost thoughts and feelings can bring relief. For 18 years, I have been helping people deal with their internal struggles.
People frequently come to me because they find themselves with an unsuitable partner or continually dating unavailable people. My goal will be to help you have better, more fulfilling, love relationships and friendships. Together, in a warm, supportive setting we can explore what it is that interferes with your having a fulfilling relationship.

In working with women and men who are struggling with religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and church hurt, I find that they need to come to a place where there is no judgment, and where they can find the unique opportunity to speak to their shame and loss of community and faith.
I work well with a client who has experienced some type of sexual, psychological, or religious or spiritual trauma in their lives. In my sessions with this client, first I assess the level of trauma, help the client to build rapport with me, as well as trust. Secondly, I work to rebuild the client's life in terms of symptom management. Thirdly, the client and I form a partnership to improve relationship skills, thereby enabling the client to re-establish a sense of community. Finally, I value helping the client to rebalance his or her life in mind, body, and spirit.

I have some expertise in women's issues but enjoy therapy with both genders.
I am Liz Langell, Ph. D., a psychologist with postdoctoral training in clinical psychology and neuropsychology from New York City's Beth Israel Medical Center.
My training has been thorough, with exposure to many theories and styles of treatment. Years of teaching and supervising doctoral students have expanded my knowledge base. The most important factor influencing how I work with individuals, however, involves what they personally want to accomplish in therapy. I mainly determine this through collaborative discussion: I view psychotherapy as a partnership, and I am relatively active and open.

Seeking help for a personal difficulty or crisis can be overwhelming. "How can I find a therapist who will understand what I'm going through?" "Will thIs person be someone I can trust?" These are common concerns that come up when seeking professional help. I am a warm and compassionate therapist with over 30 years experience helping people with anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, parenting issues, balancing motherhood and career, and separation and loss. My goal is to provide a safe, therapeutic environment, where sensitive issues can be explored, and where new opportunities for hope and change can be realized.

Using evidenced based approaches (psychodynamic, CBT, DBT and EMDR) I have helped hundreds of women throughout the tri-state area transform their lives through self-empowerment and acquisition of new skills and perspectives.
Reading through these profiles can feel daunting. You need an able, expert guide worthy of your own commitment to improve your life. Good therapy gives causative insight, but GREAT therapy supports YOUR vision of creating a "life worth living" by actively supporting the change needed to realize goals. My work experience includes career and relationships, trauma and mood disorders related to pregnancy, childbirth, health issues, grief and loss (including child and fetal loss). I also work with the human animal bond and support the grief associated with loss of companion animals.

I help clients optimize their potential and achieve a sense of mastery and purpose in their personal and professional lives. Whether your goal is to embody an authentic leadership presence, achieve new behaviors, build a positive body image or to create powerful and sustainable change in any aspect of your life, experience and observation have taught me that lasting change is only possible when the whole self is engaged--body, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, language and energy/spirit. Utilizing a multidimensional perspective opens up creative and meaningful solutions for healing, connection and skillful action.

Therapy for individuals, couples, or families should be a safe space to explore personal needs and goals. Using a broad lens we consider all of the factors and systems as we work collaboratively and with transparency towards strengthening your sense of yourself and the relationships that are impacting you. We consider cycles of interaction as well as vulnerabilities and survival strategies and areas where you may be getting stuck in long repetitive cycles. Together we identify new strategies and strengths to create new experiences. Therapy can be a strengthening journey of opportunity and growth.

My aspiration as a psychologist is to help you reach your goals by constructing an individualized therapeutic approach that considers your strengths and inherent abilities. I draw upon my training in diverse treatment types to help you achieve the progress you strive for. I believe in utilizing a two pronged approach: I guide you toward learning strategies to reduce distress and increase your coping skills, while at the same time identifying deeper factors that underlie your presenting challenges. I find that addressing problems on both of these levels minimizes the time it takes to feel relief and maximizes the lasting impact of the therapy.

I have extensive experience working with young women dealing with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, codependency, life transitions, and more.
As women, oftentimes life demands a huge amount of our energy and mental capacity. In order to keep up, we tend to neglect ourselves or our relationships. When this happens we can begin to feel unbalanced. This constant demand can lead to overwhelming feelings of worry or sadness. We may worry about our future, the people in our lives, or things we need to get done. Additionally, at times we might feel as though we are being tested or triggered by unresolved issues or people from our past. This along with other challenges is bound to leave us feeling completely drained and out of balance.
