Elizabeth Brennan

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Welcome! My name is Elizabeth and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in public mental health for 10 years in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: direct care, assessment and diagnosis, case management and therapy. I also volunteered with a non-profit doing art and community development from 2011 to 2015. 

Originally from San Diego, I moved to Michigan in 2007 to complete my undergrad in Social Work and Fine Art. I moved to Indiana in 2015 and completed my masters in 2017.

My areas of specialty include but are not limited to: depression, anxiety, neuro atypical family systems support, relationship challenges, substance abuse and dependency, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, body image, chronic pain, somatic disorders, LGBTQ+ population, and intellectual, developmental, and learning disabilities support.

Therapy can be quite difficult, having a safe environment to talk about and process life’s difficulties is so very important. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I’m here to support and empower you. You can expect me to patiently walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself, respect your uniqueness, and invest in your emotional well-being. I will hold space for you. I believe in the power of creativity to help us heal and grow and I am delighted to support you in being wildly self-expressed, joyful and connected to your deepest self.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I create pottery and watercolor paintings. I also enjoy cooking, gardening, fermenting kombucha and kimchi, tending to my succulents, and traveling.

I am excited to work with you to help you experience the greatest things that life has to offer you.

Let us work together to make it happen!

Thank you,
Elizabeth

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care for most situations.

One major benefit is the flexibility it offers – individuals can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical route to addressing common mental health concerns and life challenges.
