Elizabeth Clark
LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor,
Side by Side Wellness Center
Hello! My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Clark, and I have been fortunate to pursue a lifelong passion for education and mental health. I earned a BBA in Marketing from Lamar University but soon realized my true calling was in teaching. After receiving my teaching certificate in Special Education (K-12) from the University of Houston, I spent seven years teaching elementary and secondary students with learning disabilities and behavioral issues. This experience sparked my deep interest in mental health, leading me to pursue a master’s degree in Counseling and Development from Lamar University.
Experience Highlights:
- 7+ years teaching special education students (K-12) with learning disabilities and behavioral issues.
- 24 years as a therapist and guidance counselor.
- Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2000.
- Extensive experience with teenagers, families, and diverse populations.
Areas of Expertise:
- Anxiety & Depression
- Academic Stress & Behavioral Issues
- Trauma (PTSD), Grief & Loss, and Anger Management
- Bipolar Issues
- Gender Issues
- Support for Adolescents, Teens, and Young Adults
Therapeutic Approach:
I believe in a collaborative, holistic approach, incorporating the family into the healing process. My therapy includes:
- Family Systems Theory: Involving family dynamics in the therapeutic process.
- Narrative Therapy & Internal Family Systems Therapy: Helping clients rewrite their stories and understand family roles.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT): Evidence-based approaches for managing emotions and behaviors.
- Mindfulness & Brief Therapy: Fostering self-awareness and emotional regulation.
I commend you on making the first step in your healing journey. Together we can seek to free you from trauma, discord, dysregulation, and dysfunction. All of the necessary tools for your success you already possess—they are within you. I look forward to meeting you.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time at the beach, reading, drumming, tending to my succulents, and birdwatching. I’m incredibly grateful to continue this journey and look forward to supporting those in need.
