About Elizabeth Kilmer, PhD
Therapy should be a collaborative process, built on mutual respect, genuineness, and trust. In our work together, I strive to build an authentic therapeutic relationship where we can work together to identify your values, and take actionable steps towards positive change in your life. I strongly believe in the importance of common therapeutic factors, including empathy, authenticity, and clear expectations. I further maintain that any intervention should be utilized in a way that is consistent with your identity and culture, as well as integrate social justice in my approach. Further, as a geek and gamer, I understand the inherent value that personal hobbies, passions, and subcultures can provide. In therapy, I work with clients to identify and leverage these passions for personal growth and resilience. I am a licensed psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Texas. In addition to my training and experience with evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I am a nationally registered Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) provider.
I work with children (age 8 and above), adolescents, and adults. When working with children and adolescents, I incorporate an approach designed to fit the family system and the developmental level of the individual. As a good fit is instrumental to a successful therapy experience, I encourage you to reach out to me to ask any questions you have and confirm whether I am right for you.
