Depth-oriented therapy

Liz worked for a long time as a social worker, which made her always look at the whole person when trying to help them. This trait carried over into her private practice work.

The idea of depth-oriented therapy came from the idea that we’re not just focusing on the symptoms, we’re not just focusing on your ADHD … we’re focusing on what’s underlying that. Often, that’s stomach issues, family issues, core beliefs, any type of complex trauma or illness that we might come across … So [we] knit together this whole experience and tapestry of a person. (Liz Frost)

Even though the symptoms can provide a therapist with insights into how a client’s issues or traumas manifest, Liz argues that it’s essential to delve deeper if we truly want to help people change their lives for the better.
Hiring the right staff
Liz knew that she needed to distinguish between her role as the business owner and what other people needed to do to simply keep the business running.
Hiring a great executive assistant was one of the things that allowed Liz to really focus on strengthening her practice from within before hiring additional staff.
When hiring staff, Liz got 200 applicants!
