Elizabeth Betrous, MA, NCC
Elizabeth approaches the therapy space with warmth, curiosity, and genuine regard so that you can explore your inner world. Operating from the belief that individuals are wired for growth, she supports clients in moving toward greater clarity, resilience, and an authentic sense of self over the course of therapy.
Elizabeth provides counseling to teenagers and young adults navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. She has particular experience working with adolescents and their families in an intensive treatment setting, supporting them through periods of crisis.
She also has experience supporting individuals from cross-cultural backgrounds who are navigating questions of identity, belonging, and family expectations including Third Culture Kids (TCKs). In this work, she helps clients make sense of their experiences and develop a stronger sense of self across cultural contexts, while also processing the grief and loss that can accompany transitions, relocation, and cultural displacement.
Her approach is eclectic, drawing primarily from psychodynamic, existential, and systemic theories. She also integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist clients in strengthening skills in emotional regulation and interpersonal connection. Her work is both reflective and experiential, supporting clients as they gain insight and develop strategies for growth.
A Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and pursuing licensure in the state of Tennessee, Elizabeth earned her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Trauma Certificate from Wheaton College in 2026. She also completed degrees in Psychology and Music Performance from the University of Memphis in 2023.
When out of office, Elizabeth enjoys working out and exploring new places. You can also find her at the local library checking out too many books or playing the violin.
