Elizabeth McCarthy, LCPC, E-RYT
Founder
MD Board Approved Supervisor
Elizabeth's journey began amidst the verdant slopes of the Appalachian Mountains, where her youthful curiosity about the interplay between the cosmos, nature, and humanity took root. This profound connection to the natural world guided her academic pursuits, leading to an undergraduate degree in Cultural Anthropology and a Master's in Community Counseling. Her path further unfolded into a Yoga Alliance Teacher Certification and a Nature-Informed Therapy Certificate, reflecting her commitment to integrating holistic wellness practices. Elizabeth's dedication to lifelong learning is evident as she continually expands her expertise through diverse trainings and teachings, enriching her approach to healing and personal growth.
In her therapy practice, Elizabeth serves adults from diverse backgrounds with somatic approaches, such as Polyvagal Nerve Theory, Yoga, Mindfulness, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. She also has training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Internal Family Systems, and Expressive Therapies.
Over the past few years, she has gained considerable insight into the specialized areas of Compassion Fatigue Prevention, focusing on Caregivers, Healthcare and Service Providers, College Students, and Women undergoing Mid-Life transitions. These niches have become her expertise, allowing her to offer targeted strategies and support.
To stay young, Elizabeth loves to spend time outside of therapy with her family and two cats, listening to music, seeing live music, reading, knitting/crocheting, exploring nature, and of course, doing yoga daily.
