About me
I am licensed in Connecticut with 30 years of professional work experience as a school counselor and as a therapist in private practice. I have worked with many young people struggling with family issues, school problems, and conflicts with friends. I enjoy interacting with kids and teens, and I believe in treating them with honesty, and respect for their privacy. We can work together to create a place which allows for sharing of feelings while also keeping in mind the role of caregivers in the lives of young people, with appropriate boundaries for all concerned.
Taking the first step to finding that safe place takes courage, and you have already done that by reaching out here. I hope to be able to meet you and to support you in that process.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elizabeth Phelan. 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.
Very good at asking you the real questions while putting in the effort to even update your journal entries for introspection always feel at home and comfortable talking about my vulnerable side with her
She is very kind and personable. She makes me feel very comfortable to talk to and is excellent at giving advice. I definitely recommend her.
I’ve been with Elizabeth for awhile now (on and off due to my scheduling) but she is amazing and always jumps right back into where we left off!
She is wonderful, kind, extremely smart, very professional and knowledgeable. She created a safe space for me from the start, she is continuing to help me process through my issues. I really enjoy having her as my therapist.
Elizabeth (Betsy) Phelan is brilliant. Have never had such a good therapist.
My wife and I have only had a couple sessions with Elizabeth, but we’ve already noticed how easily she helps us to communicate and how well she listens and gives both of us a focus when asking questions.
Lots of wisdom and knowledge with Elizabeth. Understanding and caring individual. Like a grandmother with the skills to help anyone. Great first experience with a therapist. Thank you Elizabeth
Elizabeth is a great listener who takes whatever is the theme in the conversation very seriously, and at the same time she has the ability to soften the pain and make sense out of difficult things. Her compassionate way of talking is the doorway to accept and be with the truth.
Betsy is perceptive while remaining objective.
very good, professional and understanding.
Love my therapist ♡
Elizabeth has plenty of experience in therapy. She is kind and helpful.
Elizabeth is compassionate and understanding. I would highly recommend her.
Betsy is an incredible therapist. In my case, she made a sincere effort to understand my situation, and maybe me feel heard and acknowledged. She provides a very unique and helpful perspective on issues, and has helped me work through some very tough obstacles. I feel like she truly cares about me as a person, taking a lot of time to get to know me and even leveraging helpful exercises to help me get to know my self on a deeper level. I highly recommend her!
Helps me really break down behaviours or patterns that challenge me
Great listener and offers helpful strategies for any concerns. Would highly recommend!
Elizabeth Phalen is one of the best therapist I have worked with, she’s honest, caring, and knows what she’s talking about!! Elizabeth listens, open, easy to talk to and most importantly, Elizabeth is reliable!
