ELIZABETH SHATZKIN, MA, MFT
A
number of years ago, I left a career in the aerospace industry as a
mathematician, and returned to the university so that I could devote my
life to helping people find the sense of intimacy and closeness in their
lives that we all so richly deserve.
Over the years I have been in practice, I have found that most
people do have the keys to unlock that which keeps them from true
happiness, but what is missing is the information, or road map to reach
that end goal. The
therapeutic work I do has provided me with the unique pleasure of working
together with people to help them discover these personal road maps, and
their own true strengths that lie within each person.
In
my practice, I work with individuals, couples and families to help them
get in touch with their true, deeper emotional selves, which ultimately
helps them communicate more effectively with themselves and with others.
Communication is one of the most important keys to building
intimacy – the ability to know what needs to be communicated and to have
the skills to do just that. I
have had a broad range of training. This
includes, but is not limited to, working with hospitalized clients, and
people struggling with addiction and depression, to those whom are highly
functioning but are struggling with their personal relationships.
I believe that almost all situations can change for the better as
long as the people involved are honestly open and committed to the process
of change.
With
my unique educational background, combining applied mathematics and
clinical psychology, I believe I have developed an approach to viewing a
situation that is not shared by most clinicians.
Some of the most challenging work the therapist and client do
together is to help a person uncover their perplexing issues that might
appear as recurring life situations.
These are often devastating unconscious patterns.
My set of interdisciplinary tools gained through my education
allows me to bring a refined analytical approach to problem solving and to
pattern identification, but at the same time, be completely aware of the
feelings and emotions that are involved throughout the entire process.
Together we will work on raising your awareness of these patterns,
making the unconscious more conscious. By doing so, you will find there are more choices available to
you than you might have ever imagined.
In essence, this will give you the freedom to choose to free
yourself of these patterns from your life forever.
By
combining my experience and training to develop a heightened sensitivity
to people, with the thought processes demanded in higher mathematics, I
can help you create a complete way of defining and coloring the picture of
the life you are living. I
will also help in guiding you to go on to create the satisfying and
fulfilling life you want to live – possibly a life that includes healthy
intimate relationships with family, friends and significant others that
you choose to have and keep in your life.
I have had the opportunity to help many people who had all but
given up on the idea of ever being able to increase the level of happiness
and richness in their relationships, and in their lives.
They have gone on to enjoy the life they chose to redefine, making
healthier choices and maintaining stronger relationships than ever before.

We can help.
