Elizabeth Frietsch

Elizabeth Frietsch schedules appointments in late evenings to accommodate parental duties and work schedules. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, holding the credential TX LPC 80008, and she works with adolescents and adults who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse.

She is certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a treatment approach designed to address the lasting effects of trauma. Many people carry reminders of past events that continue to affect daily life, and she focuses on helping clients process those memories whether the trauma is recent or from years ago.

Through her trauma work, Elizabeth has developed experience supporting people coping with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and fears related to attachment and intimacy. She approaches these topics in a compassionate, non-judgmental manner and aims to create a safe environment for discussing difficult material.

Elizabeth is affirming of people across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and of varied or absent religious beliefs. As a foster and adoptive parent, she has firsthand experience navigating the Texas foster care system and understands the unique parenting stressors that arise when caring for children who have experienced trauma. She is familiar with Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and brings a background in education and social services to her work preventing and addressing compassion fatigue and burnout.
