Elizabeth Shon, Ph.D., Psychologist

I am a psychologist who has been in private practice for over 20 years. For most of that time I also worked as a staff psychologist at two university counseling centers. I have always enjoyed working with adolescents and adults and have been effective in working with a wide range of issues; including depression, anxiety, self esteem, relationships, stress, adjustment, family of origin issues, issues around identity, cultural adjustment, grief/loss and addictions. I have also completed training in Couples Therapy from an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach.

My orientation is mostly psychodynamic, and humanistic with an integration of Cognitive Behavioral approaches and Emotionally Focused Therapy. In other words, I value understanding the significant relationships in one's life, including one's relationship to oneself and how those dynamics contribute to who you are today. Above all, I value empathic attunement to my clients and providing a safe, caring, non-judgemental place for you to heal and to grow.
