Liz Childers
M.Ed., LPC
I believe in helping individuals find agency within their lives. It is also my philosophy that regardless of individual challenges in life, everyone should have access to the tools of self-improvement. As a therapist, my goal is to empower clients by helping them gain insight into how their thoughts and behaviors impact one another. My experience as a transgender woman has also taught me the importance of having appropriate support whenever someone is trying to make a significant change in life.
I have experience working with individuals struggling with substance use, trauma, homelessness, adjustment issues, and suicidal ideation. I’ve worked with clients in several stages of life including adolescents and adults who come from a variety of different backgrounds. I currently specialize in working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community with a focus on gender identity.

I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist and a native of Alabama. As a clinician, my role is to assist you with setting and maintaining goals that are rooted in your unique core values. I provide gender affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming care. I am an advocate for body compassion, and the “health at every size” philosophy.
I work with issues pertaining to grief and loss, anxiety and depression, and PTSD. I have experience working with folks who are recovering from domestic and intimate partner violence, process addictions, substance misuse and eating disorders, with a focus on harm reduction. I also provide Ethical Non-monogamy and Poly-affirming care for individuals and couples. If you are seeking non-verbal, alternative forms of healing such as musical, expressive arts and play therapy, I offer that as well.
As a queer woman growing up in the Southeast, I have learned that adequate support is fundamental to growth. It’s never too late to ask for help! Understanding the many layers of one’s identity in the culture can be challenging yet can lead to a manageable and joyful life. I believe in the power of mindfulness-based practices, engaging the five senses, and returning to the wisdom your body has to offer. I work with adolescents, adults of all ages, couples and families. I seek to practice radical gentleness in a world that can be harsh and challenging.
