Bent not Broken
“The willow tree…the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it - no wind, no elements. It can bend and withstand anything.”
ABOUT ME
Elizabeth Kickert, LCSW
Hi, I am Elizabeth Kickert and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. Before starting my own private practice, Willow Tree Counseling, I worked as a school social worker in the elementary, middle and high school settings. As a result of my time spent working with youth in the schools, I have a lot of experience in helping individuals over come issues with depression, anxiety, at-risk behaviors and suicidal ideation, anger management, school and home related behavior problems, self-worth, social skills and relationship problems. In addition to my extensive experience working with children and young adults, I have worked alongside many adult clients helping them through grief-loss, job transitions, marital issues, divorce and separation, and parenting and co-parenting challenges.
Maybe you have come to what feels like a breaking point in your life due to stress, sadness, loss or changes that are out of your control. Maybe you know you need to make a change but don’t know how to start. Maybe you just need a safe non-judgmental space to gain a clear perspective on whatever challenges you are facing. Whatever your reasons, I am glad you are here and look forward to the opportunity to come alongside you in achieving the goals you set in order to live your life to the fullest.
