About me
Hello, I'm Liz!
Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs!
Being a teenager can be so difficult, yet so fun at the same time. This time in your life is gaining responsibility, more abilities to be independent, and learn who you are, and what skills or goals you have for yourself! This time in your life can also be stressful with school, friends, home-life, and preparing for when you graduate! I look forward to working with you to discover who you are, and how you'd like to write the next chapter in your life. Tip for the day: BE KIND TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS! :)
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elizabeth Malchow. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
My therapist listens to my concerns and helps me understand my feels
Elizabeth is always so genuine, thought provoking and caring. She has helped me in so many ways. I’m thankful for how she has challenged me to think which has ensured my growth.
I think Elizabeth is very caring and she listens well.
Elizabeth was extremely intuitive and able to provide the emotional intelligence and support needed during each session. She offered homework that allows for a deeper understanding and thought process beyond the sessions. Tools that will allow for healthier outcomes in day to day decisions.
My therapist is truly a remarkable person. With her help, I have been able to see my shortcomings when it comes to overextending myself, which has been a detriment to my overall wellness. With our sessions, I have learned to take better care of myself mentally.
I appreciate the ability to challenge and also listen to me in my path to communicate better with people. She also has tools that are ready for availability, which have helped with communication.
So far my experience has been great!
Elizabeth is a great listener and also provides a different perspective to help through your issues. She provides great exercises to work on to promote emotional growth.
Elizabeth is fantastic and I enjoy our conversation. I feel like she is supportive and great at listening to my fears
Elizabeth is has been extremely important in helping me heal. She is kind and considerate and very knowledgeable on how to help in different ways. She has helped me work through a lot. I would strongly suggest her to anyone.
She is the best person I have ever worked with. I love how she pushes me just enough that I face the hard times.
Elizabeth does a great job keeping me balanced and helps me put my thoughts on trial to determine if I am overthinking.
Liz is great!
Working with Elizabeth has been amazing she gives me reasons to think deeper about what’s going on and that is helpful
Liz is an amazing listener! And she thinks outside the box when it comes to therapy. I’ve been with a number of therapists who have never challenged me the way she does! She’s innovative in her approach and after only a few weeks, I am feeling more like myself again! I highly recommend Liz!
Elizabeth is willing to find a way to tackle my issues together. I appreciate it!
Elizabeth is amazing. She asks questions that give me pause and make me think. Liz offers reasonable paths of growth and listens to my hopes and fears. Sometimes it seems she has a better understanding of what I'm thinking than I do. But she somehow lets me come to it by myself.
Elizabeth has been an absolute lifesaver since I started working with her. I was going through a really hard time and not eating, sleeping, or thinking very clearly, and having Elizabeth to talk to and help balance things out was vital. I've had an incredible amount of trouble finding and keeping a therapist given all my issues, and most won't work with my situation when they find out about it all, but Elizabeth took everything in stride, opened herself to understanding, and has changed things so much for the better. It's been wonderful to work with her.
I’ve only spoken with her one time and she was extremely easy to talk to, and I look forward to another session
Liz is thoughtful and asks the right questions.
She has been great to talk too. She really listens and I feel like she wants the best for me. I really look forward to our talks.
She’s amazing!
She was so easy to talk with & understanding when I was having technology issues. She let me talk and talk and provided great help for me!
SHE' GREAT
Elizabeth really knows how to focus me and get me to think about causes and what I can do. I always feel better after our conversations.
Elizabeth is so warm, nurturing and has given me such great suggestions for how to communicate and value myself. I appreciate the homework. Elizabeth listens so well. I’m very appreciative for the help when I’ve needed it.
Elizabeth has been amazing to work with. You can tell that she truly cares and shows genuine empathy. She also offers different perspectives and thought-provoking questions that help me process through my current situation. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of therapy.
She is great!
Elizabeth has been great. She asked me questions to learn what would work best for me and followed through with my answers. She is kind, understanding and flexible. She has challenged me, which is helping me to get closer to the best version of me.
Elizabeth is terrific. She is very understanding very knowledgeable, offers great advice, and learning tools I would strongly recommend her to somebody.
Very personable, very positive! Highly recommend
Elizabeth is very kind and empathetic. She helped me through some tough issues that included exercises and by asking questions that helped me to understand how I was viewing things and why. I highly recommend her!
Elizabeth is very easy to talk to and provides a positive outlook, which is important when discussing difficult topics. I appreciate that she is patient and empathetic. I would definitely recommend her.
As a man I was sceptical of talking to a woman but she has been amazing to work with and would highly recommend her
I have just started working with Elizabeth and I have enjoyed her optimistic outlook and perspective through my life experiences I have been through that have lead me to seek out a therapist. I look forward to more meetings with Elizabeth moving forward.
Liz is wonderful. I look forward to our sessions
She listens to me and asks the right questions and genuinely cares about my mental health. I love the chat version because my life gets crazy but she has great options of times and does a amazing job!
Elizabeth helps my daughter immensely!
Kind, professional.
Elizabeth understands the balance of being straightforward yet gentle. She’s warm and knowledgeable. She provides a variety of resources and activities to dive deeper during session and throughout the week. I’ve always felt seen, validated and heard. At the same time, she helps you to find avenues to dismantle your mental obstacles. She’s been the fan base and supporter to my mental health, even when I haven’t. One of the best therapists I’ve ever had.
She is very kind and understanding. She also makes sure that I am able to talk about what matters to me. I haven’t had much luck with therapists, but she is amazing.
Liz has been very helpful in assisting me with the resources to better myself and manage any unhealthy thinking styles.
Elizabeth has been extremely helpful even after my free sessions I want to continue to talk with her and see her as my therapist she is so understanding and she is a great listener
She appreciates and supports what I want to work on. She backs me up with what I want in my life and works on how to achieve those goals.
Thank you for the great job of helpings me out
I’m finding my time with Elizabeth very helpful. She quickly picked up my family dynamics making it easy to discuss issues. She sets me reasonable goals. I would highly recommend her.
