Elizabeth Venenga

My focus in the counseling relationship is on promoting growth and healing by exploring the role of individual identity, coping strategies, support systems, and trauma in your life. I hope to help you find meaning, achieve personal goals, engage in healthy relationships, and confront past hurtful or painful experiences. No matter where you are in your journey, it is my goal to provide a supportive, safe space to work through the current stressors you face each day. Whether your life feels out of control or you need additional support — change is within reach. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland and am a Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (C-DBT) with Evergreen. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University in Arlington, VA. My therapy clients range from teens to adults, as well as couples. I treat clients seeking help for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, relationship issues, adjustment concerns, LGBTQIA+ issues, non-monogamous relationships, issues related to sex/intimacy, and trauma. I use a client-centered approach to therapy while also incorporating aspects of CBT, DBT, and existential psychotherapy. Along with the LGBTQIA+ community, I support clients with a sex positive, kink positive, and poly affirmative approach to treatment. I value and celebrate the uniqueness of each of my clients and am here to support all diverse individuals through culturally sensitive, unbiased, and nonjudgmental care. I am a telehealth provider and only offer virtual appts at Discover Yourself Wellness Center.
