Root and Renewal Counseling

Counseling

I work with people ages 7 and older who experience the following in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida:

• Anxiety and stress.
• Trauma and life transitions.
• Relationship and boundary concerns, people-pleasing, and burnout.
• Cross-cultural experiences, including missionaries and Third Culture Kids.
• As well as a wide range of other concerns.

My approach considers the whole person and explores the underlying patterns and experiences that may be affecting emotional well-being.

My Approach

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Graves, LICSW

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I believe effective therapy begins with understanding the person, not simply treating a diagnosis. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative environment where you can explore what's happening beneath the surface and develop practical tools for meaningful change.

My clinical experience includes helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, medical and dental trauma, cross-cultural experiences, missionaries and Third Culture Kids, as well as integrating a whole-person approach to emotional wellness.

For clients who desire it, faith and Christian principles can also be thoughtfully incorporated into the counseling process.

Our first session is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to counseling, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We will begin identifying patterns and experiences that may be contributing to what you're experiencing and discuss goals for our work together.

Do you offer Christian counseling?
