Elizabeth Brokamp has worked as a professional counselor for over twenty years, and she holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University. Her job is to use words to help people: She offers talk therapy to individuals who are going through difficult times, who are struggling with mental health, or who simply want to live a better life.
Elizabeth is located (and licensed) in Virginia, near the D.C. border, and ordinarily she could meet with D.C. residents in-person in Virginia. But now she is only seeing clients online. Elizabeth is not licensed in D.C., and she cannot talk to new D.C. clients without violating D.C.’s licensing laws.
