About Elizabeth
Rev. Elizabeth Hector is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience who blends trauma-informed care with a pastoral background. She approaches sessions with acceptance and gentleness for people of all genders and sexualities. Her practice often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and self esteem concerns.
Before social work, Elizabeth spent a decade in pastoral ministry and that experience shapes how she listens and responds. She has long worked alongside people facing chronic illness and end-of-life concerns, and she has spent time supporting youth in group home settings. That mix of ministry and clinical work influences a calm, steady style.
Elizabeth uses several practical approaches in therapy. She offers client-centered listening to help people tell their story. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also works with trauma-focused methods, including EMDR.
Many clients she has seen have had trauma alongside substance use or mood disorders. She has experience with co-occurring conditions and with helping people regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic. She also brings experience with caregiving stress, family problems, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Her work is straightforward and goal-oriented when that fits, and more gentle and exploratory when people need it. Elizabeth accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
