Elizabeth Boudreau, Practicum counseling intern
Counseling Philosophy
I believe that therapy is not a one size fits all approach but rather unique to the needs of each of my clients. I want to empower and educate my clients so they can tap into their own inner wisdom and full potential. My areas of specialization are emotional empowerment, positive psychology, mindfulness and helping clients work through difficult life transitions. I am trained in both Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques. My approach to counseling is Integrative and Holistic or “Whole Person” centered. This approach emphasizes the (bio-psycho-spiritual) model of wellness. I am also Certified Life Coach and Registered Yoga Teacher. I am passionate about Somatics, Breathwork, Meditation and other restorative ritual practices.
