Meet Elizabeth Hajjar, LICSW

“Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I'm so glad you're here!”

Elizabeth believes therapy doesn't have to be stiff or serious all the time. In fact, she believes feeling comfortable enough to be your full, unfiltered self – including laughing, swearing, crying, or just sitting quietly – is where the real work happens. She uses humor, compassion, and a deep respect for your lived experience to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are.

A big part of her work is helping folks build a better relationship with their bodies — whether you're fat, thin, in between, transitioning, aging, disabled, or just feeling disconnected from yourself. She approaches body image through the lens of fat acceptance and body liberation, and together can explore what it means to live in your body without shame, pressure, or apology.

In session, she pulls from modalities like CBT, DBT, and IFS, but doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. You’re not a checklist, you're a complex, layered person. Therapy with her is collaborative, affirming, and shaped by your needs, goals, and pace. 

She works with people of all ages and has a special interest in how online life (social media, gaming, online dating, etc.) impacts our mental health and self-image. As a queer person herself, she understands the importance of feeling seen, safe, and understood, and aims to offer that to every client she meets.

If you're looking for a therapist who can hold the hard stuff, laugh with you through the weird stuff, and support you in building a life that actually feels like yours, reach out to Elizabeth! :)
