Elizabeth Pankey-Warren

Therapy is a journey towards personal growth - emotionally, spiritually and even towards physical health. I am honored to experience this journey with each of my clients.

Knowing that our early life experiences in our family of origin provide a framework for how we operate in relationships, Elizabeth is focused on helping clients process and heal from emotional wounds and then identify and break free from long standing patterns that maintain couple distress, and help couples find new ways to connect that promote intimacy and wholeness. The goal of EFT couples therapy is to create a more secure emotional bond that leads to more satisfaction, intimacy and trust.

By looking at the factors that influence anxiety and determining the best way to counteract those tendencies, we remind ourselves that we are not the anxiety or stress we are feeling, it is just something we are experiencing. Elizabeth assists clients in identifying thoughts and feelings that lead to anxiety and stress and offers practical and proven strategies to reduce and overcome anxiety.

Just as the breath calms the body, meditation calms the mind. Meditation has physical, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits. Elizabeth guides her clients in different styles of meditating to determine which form is most effective in giving them the deepest sense of wellbeing, maintain equanimity and handle difficult situations. Meditation has been proven to change the brain in ways that correlate with less stress and depression, less pain and anxiety, and a stronger immune system.

Each of us is born with a desire and a need to be attached to those we love. Knowing that attachment leads to emotional, mental and physical health, I am honored to help my clients explore how to develop a healthy, happy attachment with others in their lives.

From her own personal experience of losing her first child at birth and her subsequent journey through and research about grief, Elizabeth has deep compassion for being with people in their grief, and helping them identify and process their emotions and move through their loss.

As a trained EMDR therapist and a TIR (Traumatic Incident Reduction) Facilitator, and a ERYT500 Yoga teacher, Elizabeth uses these modalities and breathwork, and even gentle, therapeutic Yoga (if desired) to help resolve trauma and facilitate healing.
