Liza Hadden, MS

My priority is to provide a safe and comfortable space for clients to identify and work on their therapeutic goals. I aim to make therapy a client-led process and adaptive to clients' specific needs.

 

I specialize in women’s health and feel passionate about supporting clients along the path of healing and growth. I also enjoy working with couples and families to improve dynamics and establish more fulfilling relationships.

 

I have a systemic and holistic view of people, relationships and health. I draw from the theoretical approaches of Experiential, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused (EFT) and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) therapies. I also integrate mindfulness and body-based/somatic practices into sessions. 

 

In a typical therapy session we may… 

• draw upon practices to regulate your nervous system to cultivate a calmer more grounded experience in your body, 

• learn to attend to emotions, 

• practice disengaging from unhelpful thoughts, 

• explore the various parts of yourself, 

• identify & attend to needs, 

• untangle communication dynamics, 

• process experiences & explore meaningful narrative 

• increase awareness and intuition

• explore attachment and how it shows up 

• learn skills relating to emotional regulation, self-awareness, intuition, interpersonal communication, self-compassion & acceptance 

• explore values & beliefs 

• connect to inner resources & sources of guidance

​

Desired changes begin to happen as clients experience themselves and others in new ways. Many clients find that these new experiences compound in a positive way to create satisfying and positive long-term transformations.
