Professional statement

Elizabeth Fulsher is a licensed independent clinical social worker. Elizabeth works with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder primarily. Elizabeth's clients tend to be ambivalent, but contemplating change, they are strong and resilient. Clients come motivated for change and are willing to take some risks in working on therapeutic experiments in their lives and seeing what will work for them.

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help client recognize that their thoughts, feelings and actions are all interconnected. Elizabeth uses Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help assist clients in managing intense emotions. Elizabeth uses mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness skills, emotional regulation skills and distress tolerance to assist a client in being able to regulate and work through conflict. Elizabeth provides a safe, non judgmental and warm space for clients to express their feelings and explore their thoughts about the things that matter most to them. Elizabeth recognizes that clients are the experts in their own lives and helps them to navigate complex areas of life and life struggles.

Elizabeth worked in schools as a para educator for several years working with children with various learning disabilities, ASD, ADHD and Down Syndrome. Elizabeth worked in an inner city school in the city of Portland working with impoverished children and children coming from many diverse backgrounds, providing after school enrichment activities and homework support. In Elizabeth's case management internship in her MSW program, Elizabeth worked at the ARC of Washington County providing in house therapy support, enrichment support and helping people with disabilities with job support. Elizabeth completed her clinical internship at Sequoia Mental Health Services, working primarily with people diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Schizo Affective Disorder to help them complete their annual reviews to receive more mental health support.


Message to clients

My office is located in the neighborhood of Hazel Dell in Vancouver, WA. I am also available for virtual sessions on a virtual platform called Sessions. Clients will receive a reminder via email or text the day prior to their scheduled session. I would prefer for clients to have an assigned time to meet weekly, every other week or monthly. I try to do my best to accommodate unique needs and schedules as much as possible. Clients are always welcome to reach out if they need to meet at a different time or date.

It is always nice to have someone who can bring a non judgmental perspective and can meet a client where they are at.

I hope that clients are able to find some positive direction and I hope that they feel supported in their treatment. It is a sign of bravery and a positive for one's self care when clients choose to engage in therapy.
