Lizzie Shutt, RMHCI

    Lizzie Shutt is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI), passionate about guiding individuals toward healing, growth and authentic self-discovery.  She supports clients navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, eating disorders, and the unique challenges young adults face transitioning into adulthood.      Lizzie is committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

    Lizzie holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Saybrook University and practices under a licensed supervisor.  She is EMDR-trained, offering Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as a core part of her trauma-focused work.  She is also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based treatment specifically designed for OCD and anxiety. It incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support regulating emotions, tolerating distress and navigating interpersonal relationships.

    Lizzie's therapeutic approach is person-centered and tailored to your unique goals and clinical needs.  Drawing from a rich tapestry of influences, including Carl Rogers, Carl Jung, Dan Siegel, Kristin Neff and Pema Chodron; she offers a range of experiential tools designed to meet you where you are.

    What makes Lizzie's approach unique is her deep belief that nature is one of our most powerful and often overlooked sources of healing. Rooting in her undergraduate studies in Horticultural Sciences at the University of Florida and years of mindfulness meditation practice, Lizzie offers nature-based wisdom as an additional lens for clients who feel called to that perspective - inviting them to recognize their personal growth in the same way nature experiences cycles of change and renewal.
