Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying more than anyone else realizes. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting stress, trauma, or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, you don't have to face it alone. For more than 28 years, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through life's challenges, first through education and counseling-related support, and now as a therapist. I work with children ages 6 and older, adolescents, adults, and seniors, helping each person build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop the confidence and skills needed to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
Hi, I’m Lizz Dyson (she/her), I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Texas State University and have been practicing since 2021.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe living a fulfilled and rewarding life begins with being emotionally and cognitively healthy.

I have been practicing for 5 years, my focus in the last 3 have been towards women's issues, couples in crisis, grief and loss, sex/porn, and addiction just to name a few.

Clients should know that I am a therapist who both supports and gently challenges them, because I believe growth happens when we are willing to look at our thoughts, patterns, and behaviors honestly. I strive to create a safe, warm space while also helping clients push past comfort zones in a healthy and empowering way. I bring joyful, positive energy into sessions and hope clients feel encouraged, understood, and capable of change
I work with both couples and individuals, using approaches that fit who you are and what you’re going through. As a parent to adult children, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to raise kids and stay connected, and how important it is to feel supported along the way. With my background as a Registered Nurse, I also bring a mind-body perspective to our work together.

If your child is having big feelings, behavior changes, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, or challenges in relationships, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next. I work with young children, adolescents, and caregivers to help children feel more connected, understood, and supported. My specialty is early childhood mental health, with a focus on children from birth to age 12. I use play therapy, sandtray therapy, EMDR, and parent support to help children process difficult experiences, build emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships at home.

Over the past several years, I have also served as a Mental Health Consultant, providing assessment-informed interventions and therapeutic support grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy.
