Elizabeth Einig, LCSW

Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (Illinois #149.029927), she/her.

I’m a trauma-focused therapist who works with children (ages 7+), teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood trauma, disordered eating, and chronic illness. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within a safe, trusting relationship. Using an attachment and somatic lens, I help clients heal early relational wounds, improve emotional regulation, and enhance self-trust and confidence.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2022, focused on clinical practice. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a research assistant for youth suicide prevention research and as as a client services/intake assistant at a mental health clinic. As a therapist, I’ve worked in a variety of settings: a child welfare & juvenile justice clinic, a youth-focused therapy and psychological testing practice, and a group practice focused on trauma treatment. Throughout my career so far, I’ve received specialized training in trauma therapy, which I’ve found to support deeper healing, regardless of challenges you may be facing.

What I love most about being a therapist is connecting with clients and being a part of their journey. I feel honored to be trusted with their vulnerability and I find so much reward in offering a space that allows for transformative healing.

I hope to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward the life and relationships you want. I’m excited to work with you!

In my free time, I enjoy spoiling my cat Pebbles, getting creative with watercolor and crochet, and grabbing an iced latte with friends.
