Meet Dr. Liz – Dr Liz Jenkins

MEET DR. LIZ, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Certified Life Coach

Therapy is an investment of time, money and energy. I believe you need an experienced therapist that can help you feel comfortable, honest and open while working through challenging problems. I’m here to provide that environment.

MY TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

My goal as a therapist is to assist you in identifying, understanding and resolving the issues or areas in your life that are not working. Each of us is a unique individual and it is my role to bring the information to you in a way that meets your own style and situation.

I will show you there is hope and help you see that things do not have to continue the way they are right now. Together we will find ways to help you change and develop better techniques for making good choices and developing life balance.

My broad range of clinical and educational experience allows me to guide you to the place in life you desire. Give me a call at 512-827-1460 or email DrLiz@DrLizJenkins.com for an introduction.

"Liz is fantastic, she is super flexible and is a very astute observer of people and their interactions. She will pick up on things that you don't even know about yourself. She has been instrumental in helping me look inward to find and address the causes of many of my behaviors and mannerisms. She provides a gentle, yet very straightforward session that helps you avoid all of your own defense mechanisms and take a hard look at yourself. Having someone who is willing to be honest and cut to the chase about what you need to do to help yourself is invaluable. I could not recommend Liz more."
