Hi, I'm Elizabeth Newsom (she/her), LCSW-Supervisor, but you can call me Liz. I am the founder and clinical director of Realistic Expectations, PLLC. Over the last 10 years, I've developed an upfront, honest, and professional approach that allows me to empower you to make the change(s) you want in your life. I am very open-minded and work hard to develop my own insight, which assists me in providing judgement free therapy. I have worked with people from all walks of life and am confident that I can assist you with whatever your needs are, be it addressing issues with depression, anxiety, anger, attachment issues, substance abuse, sexuality, spirituality, relationship issues, and many others.  Sometimes in life, things can be distressing and hard to identify. If you feel that this confusion, this "blah" feeling applies to you, I can help you with that as well.

I am a firm believer that we are not trapped... ever!! We can make changes, because we always have choices even if we can't see them. My goal is to help you figure this out, to find the happiness, peace, and success you wish to find. I won't lie to you and tell you this will be easy, but if you're willing to work with me, I am certain we can create and achieve the change you want in your life!!!
