Elizabeth Brice

Elizabeth Brice offers therapy to people who come with a range of reasons for starting treatment, and she brings seven years of clinical experience to that work. She specializes in supporting postpartum mothers and intended parents facing infertility while also treating anxiety, depression, and related mood concerns. Elizabeth provides therapy to individuals and to couples.

Her role is not to tell someone what to do or how to think. At times she sits with heavy emotions, thoughts, and memories alongside a client. Other times she helps sort through the large collection of thoughts a person carries and decide what to keep and what to set aside. She emphasizes normalizing the challenges of new parenthood, acknowledging the deep pain that infertility can bring, and supporting the often uncomfortable path toward living closer to one’s well self. Sessions may include silence, questions, and moments of shared laughter, and she encourages clients to bring their whole selves to the work.

Elizabeth uses evidence-based interventions in her practice. She has training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Wellness Recovery Action Plans, and Exposure and Response Prevention, and she integrates principles from multiple treatment approaches to fit each person’s needs. She treats clients as the experts in their own stories and collaborates with them to select tools that meet their specific goals.

Elizabeth earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Trinity Christian College and a Master of Social Work from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Prior to working full time as a therapist she worked at nonprofits across the city with experience in domestic violence, refugee resettlement, and housing. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with license number 149.020163 and is currently completing a Perinatal Mental Health Certification.
