Professional statement

Liz Fitts is a psychotherapist in a small group practice where she welcomes adults, teens, and couples looking to begin the change process. With each client, Liz uses a person centered approach to connect relationally, gain an understanding of their unique circumstances, and provide a safe, supportive environment to work through their difficulties.

Therapy sessions with Liz initially focus on connection and exploring the client's environment. Her wellness views are holistic and she helps clients learn to curiously observe and identify their mental, emotional, and spiritual functioning patterns. Through a collaborative effort, clients explore and adopt new strategies to implement in practical scenarios, ultimately gaining greater self awareness and better functioning.

With years of work among youth and families, Liz is uniquely qualified to help people navigate strained relationships, develop healthy personal boundaries, manage depression and anxiety, and explore trauma-related issues. Her work in the public school system gave her an intimate look at teenage functioning as it relates to academic stressors, social media, self-esteem and other common adolescent struggles. This experience better equipped her to support teens and parents of teens during this unique transitional period. For clients who are grounded in a Christian faith, Liz loves to explore and integrate faith-based principles and other spiritual disciplines in their work together.

Liz Fitts is currently a pre-license professional servicing residents of Virginia. She provides virtual sessions and office visits in Sterling, Virginia. She is bilingual and sees both English and Spanish-speaking clients.


Message to clients

Working moms: do you ever feel like you’re drowning in all the demands on your time and attention? Are you constantly sacrificing your emotional energy to carry everyone else’s burdens?

I help working moms find harmony in the roles of mother, wife, and professional and live well in positive relationships in all areas of their lives.

If we could meet weekly in a safe and calming place to:

• Explore the root thoughts, belief systems, and values you hold and how they affect your relationships

• Learn new ways to organize, prioritize, and share your needs to make sure they’re met

• Implement new tools and constantly evaluate their effect on your relationships

• Avoid pinning the problems on outside sources and instead focusing on things you can control

• And never just giving up and accepting an intolerable status quo

Would you find time in your calendar to meet?

I’m a working mom myself, and I’ve worked hard to balance the roles of mother, wife, and professional. I know there isn’t a magic pill we can take or a blueprint we can follow to make the life we want drop into our laps.

But I do know there are ways to observe, target, and address our own behaviors and negative thoughts.

If you want to find the ways that work for you, then I want to meet you. Contact me today and we’ll set up a free consultation call to see if I can help.
