Elizabeth Resto

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Washington, D.C., providing both in-person and online counseling at our Washington, D.C. office, as well as online counseling for clients located in Virginia. If you are looking for a warm, compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy, you’re in the right place. My goal is to build a trusting relationship that allows you to show up authentically. 

I primarily work with people navigating life transitions, identity exploration, relationships, grief, and the complexities of growth and change. Anxious, depressive or other mood related symptoms are so common when navigating these things and it can be overwhelming to face these challenges alone. We inherently have great strength and resilience, and part of my work is helping you identify and recognize these.

My approach is integrative and client-centered in nature. I additionally draw from narrative, interpersonal, attachment, and strengths-focused perspectives.  So especially if this time in life feels hopeless or overwhelming, counseling can help you organize your thoughts, feel heard, and feel supported. Together we can find practical ways to make change while keeping our work compassionate and relational.

If this sounds like the type of counseling you’re looking for, I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey!
