Elizabeth Batista
Professional Counselor Intern
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) with a Master’s degree in Clinical
Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from
Marist College. I am also a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the
Connecticut Counseling Association (CCA).
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey of understanding yourself, gaining insight, and creating meaningful change. I enjoy helping clients explore their thoughts, emotions, relationships, past experiences, and the patterns that may be shaping their lives today. I am especially interested in exploring the connection between our inner self and the self we show the world. Sometimes there can be a difference between what we experience internally and how we feel we need to present ourselves to others. Understanding that difference can help us better recognize our needs, values, and authentic selves.
Together, we can explore coping skills and thought patterns that may no longer be helpful, while also recognizing your strengths, resilience, and past successes. My role is not to tell you what your path should be, but to walk alongside you as you discover your own insights and direction. My hope is to provide a warm, supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and feel more confident moving through present challenges and opportunities.
