"It was a great experience and very helpful, it was great to have the time to relax, share the same struggles and learn helpful health practices"

"I quite like having a female/male facilitator, I learned self compassion, mindfulness and mind/body connection. Its a perfect opportunity to have to safely share with other men"

"I like the combination of having a female/male co-facilitator, fantastic". I would tell others to  definitely participate if you get the chance, you develop a rapport with other guys and learn you are not the only one

What I liked most was the dual instructors, male/female. A great men's health and healing group"

"I have been working with Elizabeth for many years as I first met her as a group substance abuse leader for court-ordered treatment.  I then sought her out in private practice for one-on-one sessions.

In our initial work together, she referred me to an EMDR practitioner to address childhood traumas, and the results were amazing.  I can't thank her enough for that life-changing referral.  We continue to address a multitude of relationship and substance abuse issues as she is highly skilled and experienced in a variety of settings.  Her direct, caring, and authentic approach has taught me self-worth and to set boundaries.

Currently she co-facilitates a mens group where I am still discovering new benefits and techniques i.e. breathwork, meditation, biofeedback. I would highly recommend Elizabeth as a mental health professional, particularly in the area of substance abuse and recovery considering her depth of clinical experience.  She is progressive and non-judgmental making you feel unique and safe."
