Elisabeth Garbeil

Meet Elisabeth

I am a Limited License Counselor (LLC) in the state of Michigan and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oakland University, Michigan.  I work with clients 13 years of age and older and have experience working with individuals and groups. I specialize in working with clients with eating disorders, trauma, high functioning autism, ADHD, OCD, anxiety or depression. I also provide support and tools to parents of children who are neurodivergent or struggling with eating disorders or mental illness.

I believe in creating a safe space for my clients to explore issues that may be painful and to promote healing. It is my job as a counselor to walk as a partner with my clients on their healing journeys. My goal is to provide care for those who need it in a way that meets their needs, including both in-person and telehealth sessions.

My counseling approach is based on person-centered and narrative therapy. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own experience. I honor that experience and provide my clients with unconditional positive regard.

I also use a number of evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic therapy and mindfulness practices.

When I am not working, I love to be outside gardening, hiking or trail riding.  I also love to be creative, read just about anything and enjoy spending time with friends.
