Liz Lander, LMFT, MHC, Inc.

The Creator of Talk Show Therapy

If you are looking for a therapist, there’s no one better than Liz Lander, LMFT, MHC. Liz offers caring, creative, no-nonsense therapy. Both virtual and in-person sessions are offered to any individual, couple, or family that wants to make change happen in their life. Liz’s approach is direct and authentic, always honoring what YOU desire for yourself and your relationships! Of course Liz deals with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues, but she believes that these uncomfortable emotions always stem from relationship issues. Think about it. People become anxious, depressed, etc. because their relationships, including the one with ‘self’ do not look or feel fulfilling. Let Liz guide you from the grey doldrums of your current situation to the brightness of life you desire.

Liz’s Sessions

Initial therapy sessions are 2 hours long. Every session after that is 90 full minutes. You will never feel rushed against the clock. Liz makes sure that you walk out from your very first session with an abundance of hope, at the VERY least. One of the most frustrating issues for people looking for couples therapists or a trusted counselor, is finding the right one. In order for therapy to work, you need to find that connection, and spark that makes you feel comfortable when in the presence of your Counselor. Research shows over and over again, that the most effective aspect of successful therapy is the relationship that develops between the Counselor and the Client. That is where Liz shines! Her clients love her. They trust her. They know she cares and doesn’t pass judgment. Liz’s clients say a session with her is like time spent with a beloved friend.

How Liz is Different

Liz is a therapist who separates herself from other Counselors. Using her unique style, she never wastes time going back to your childhood, unless it is necessary. With Liz, no time will be thrown away on history or paperwork. That is all handled prior to the first session via email. Liz gets straight to the point from the first session, offering immediate relief from the problems that brought you to counseling in the first place. Most therapists spend the first SEVERAL sessions asking about things that are not relevant to the present situation. That will never happen during your therapy session with Liz. She understands the urgency of talking about your issues and isn’t afraid to jump headfirst right into them! In fact, Liz’s favorite sessions are the first sessions!

Liz’s Approach

Practice owner and lead therapist, Liz Lander, has become famous for for her exciting non-clinical approach. When most people think of therapy, they think of judgment, coldness, and diagnosis. Elizabeth’s approach is the opposite. No topic, including the controversial ones in couples therapy, are judged. At Actuation Counseling, the therapy room is a comfy, cozy living room- and unlike other therapists, no notes are taken during the session. You will never be diagnosed unless YOU want to be! Elizabeth will share interesting videos, articles, and book suggestions. She will empower you and encourage you to get out of your comfort zone. She will NOT attack you or tear you down. Oh, and by the way, she has two adorable little dogs that work with her in the office. Korsy the Yorkie and Surrey the Shih-Tzu love snuggling up with clients during sessions.
