About
Hi! My name is Elizabeth R. Gardner and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Chemical Dependency Counselor. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I received a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology from Texas A&M International University and a Masters's in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College. I am also pursuing a certification as a Registered Play Therapist. My work experience includes working at the Webb County Youth Village Detention Center, Webb County Treatment Program and as a full-time mental health counselor as well as a clinical supervisor at PILLAR a non-profit organization. I also have experience working at United School District in Laredo, TX. I specialize in Play Therapy with children and adolescents and use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Gestalt Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and psycho-education for individuals age 8 and up. A holistic, strength-based, person-centered approach guides my practice. My theory is people who have the motivation to improve and the courage to seek growth through vulnerability and hard work can accomplish ALL the goals they desire. I am a proud mom of four boys and love traveling! I also enjoy spending time with my pets which include 3 pups and 2 chickens!
