Elizabeth Bird, PhD

Training and Experience

Welcome. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and I work with both individuals and couples. I might be a good fit for you if you are looking for relief from anxiety, wanting to reclaim your life following trauma, or are needing to reconnect as a couple or grow your relationship. I also specialize in sex therapy and I take pride in being sex-positive and nonjudgmental, creating an optimal environment for clients to explore issues and topics that are so often considered taboo. I am in the final stages of completing the AASECT requirements to become a Certified Sex Therapist. I have been providing sex therapy and doing research in the field of sexual health throughout my training and career.

Within all of my work, it is important to me to carefully consider the cultural and social contexts that shape each person’s experience. I view each person as a whole, offering science backed tools for growth and healing while creating a supportive and empowering space. My goal is that everyone I work with feel understood and safe so that they can find the courage to explore what is most difficult. I have been described as warm and genuine and I am committed to helping those I work with to build emotional resilience, foster healthier relationships with themselves and with others, and make changes to build a life that feels meaningful to them.
