Liz Venatta holds a Master’s in Dispute Resolution from Marquette University, a Master’s in School Counseling from The College of Saint Rose, and a Licensed Mental Health Certification from Butler University. She has nine years of experience in education, primarily supporting high school and college students as a Disability Services Counselor and School Counselor. She has also worked in leadership development, teaching courses on conflict resolution, Everything DiSC, StrengthsFinder 2.0, and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. Liz draws from these professional experiences to support clients during life transitions at any stage. She especially enjoys working with teens and young adults, couples, families, and people in the perinatal period. 

Liz’s approach to counseling is collaborative, as she partners with clients to help them create a more meaningful life. Liz is an EMDR therapist in training and draws from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Strengths-Based Therapy, and Ecotherapy. The specific techniques used vary based on the client’s goals for therapy and preferences. 

Liz believes that healing and insight are often facilitated by exploring the mind-body connection through mindfulness practices and time spent in nature. She is always open to taking sessions outside by going for a walk or finding a cozy bench. Liz believes it is a great privilege to hear someone’s unique story and she is committed to creating a space for clients to reflect, gain insight, and bravely strive towards greater wellness.
