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.
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 perceptive and gently suggests strategies that are new to me and are productive. She listens attentively to my concerns and distresses, does not dismiss them, but prsents a new path.
For me, Elizabeth offers creative and practical solutions and encouragement.
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.
