Elizabeth Armstrong, LCSW-R

Elizabeth Armstrong (she/her) is a licensed psychotherapist, EMDR Trainer, Consultant, Certified Schema Therapist, and Certified Meditation Teacher practicing in Manhattan.

She has presented on EMDR at The Schema Therapy Conference in Copenhagen in 2022 and The EMDRIA Conference in Arlington, VA in 2023.

I received my training at Columbia University, The National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP), and currently practice on the UWS of Manhattan. Psychotherapy provides a wonderful opportunity for deep healing and significant personal growth. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them cope with painful past experiences, maximize their current potential, and set and achieve future goals. I believe in providing a balance of empathy and gentle confrontation to help my clients meet their goals.

I am certified in Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT), Schema Therapy (ST), and EMDR, an evidenced-based treatment for healing from traumatic experiences and PTSD. I have also received training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am certified meditation teacher with a daily practice, and incorporate these teachings into my work for clients who are interested. I am currently pursuing a certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy through The Integrative Psychiatry Institute for 2025.

My practice specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and working through traumatic experiences. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues within the treatment, as well as recognizing patterns of thinking and/or behavior which may be holding you back. We will work together to determine which approach works best for you.
