ELIZABETH SHATZKIN, MA, MFT

A number of years ago, I left a career in the aerospace industry as a mathematician, and returned to the university so that I could devote my life to helping people find the sense of intimacy and closeness in their lives that we all so richly deserve.  Over the years I have been in practice, I have found that most people do have the keys to unlock that which keeps them from true happiness, but what is missing is the information, or road map to reach that end goal.  The therapeutic work I do has provided me with the unique pleasure of working together with people to help them discover these personal road maps, and their own true strengths that lie within each person.

In my practice, I work with individuals, couples and families to help them get in touch with their true, deeper emotional selves, which ultimately helps them communicate more effectively with themselves and with others.  Communication is one of the most important keys to building intimacy – the ability to know what needs to be communicated and to have the skills to do just that.  I have had a broad range of training.  This includes, but is not limited to, working with hospitalized clients, and people struggling with addiction and depression, to those whom are highly functioning but are struggling with their personal relationships.  I believe that almost all situations can change for the better as long as the people involved are honestly open and committed to the process of change.

With my unique educational background, combining applied mathematics and clinical psychology, I believe I have developed an approach to viewing a situation that is not shared by most clinicians.  Some of the most challenging work the therapist and client do together is to help a person uncover their perplexing issues that might appear as recurring life situations.  These are often devastating unconscious patterns.  My set of interdisciplinary tools gained through my education allows me to bring a refined analytical approach to problem solving and to pattern identification, but at the same time, be completely aware of the feelings and emotions that are involved throughout the entire process.  Together we will work on raising your awareness of these patterns, making the unconscious more conscious.  By doing so, you will find there are more choices available to you than you might have ever imagined.  In essence, this will give you the freedom to choose to free yourself of these patterns from your life forever.     

By combining my experience and training to develop a heightened sensitivity to people, with the thought processes demanded in higher mathematics, I can help you create a complete way of defining and coloring the picture of the life you are living.  I will also help in guiding you to go on to create the satisfying and fulfilling life you want to live – possibly a life that includes healthy intimate relationships with family, friends and significant others that you choose to have and keep in your life.  I have had the opportunity to help many people who had all but given up on the idea of ever being able to increase the level of happiness and richness in their relationships, and in their lives.  They have gone on to enjoy the life they chose to redefine, making healthier choices and maintaining stronger relationships than ever before.
