Marianne Welch Salkind, MS., LPC, Certified EMDR Therapist

As an EMDR supervisor, Elizabeth Venart demonstrates therapeutic qualities of a strong working alliance with her supervisee that consists of guidance, agreement on goals, and practical therapeutic tools for you to use with your clients. She offers a variety of EMDR skills that result in successful treatment outcomes. She is especially helpful with building your skills for working with complicated client cases.

I truly believe that it was Elizabeth’s supervision of her conceptual knowledge and master technical skills of EMDR that facilitated helping this former supervisee become strongly confident in my work as an EMDR therapist.

Cindy Garfinkel, Highmark Caring Place

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your support over years we have worked together. Working in a job that regularly exposes me to the effects of vicarious trauma, your support and the things you have taught me have allowed me to be more resilient and remain in my job. Words are not sufficient to express what that has meant to me. I feel like I am healthier, both physically and mentally, than I was when we started. Your support, your insight and your continuous urges to make my self-care a priority are messages that I will carry forward with me. Thank you for what you do!

Robin Reese, M.F.A., Associate Professor, Theatre

I came to Elizabeth very depressed and pretty hopeless about the writer’s block I had been experiencing for too many years, even after a history of artistic successes. Through the compassionate, insightful, generous and playful way Elizabeth worked with me, I found myself once again being able to write with joy and confidence. I finished not just one play, but two full-lengths, just months after our sessions together. I am amazed at how easily Elizabeth was able to help me and I am forever grateful.

What a great group!! I was so nervous to try laughter yoga. I was worried it would feel awkward and I would look stupid. I had heard many great things about laughter yoga and decided to push past my uncomfortable feelings and at least try it. I am so glad I did. I had the best time and I felt so great afterwards. I meet some wonderful people. It was a great way to start my week. After sevearl weeks of practicing laughter yoga I find that I laugh alot easier and feel much lighter in my day to day life. So give it a try, youll love to laugh!!!

I had the opportunity to hire Elizabeth for individual consultations for my psychotherapy private practice and it was a great experience. Elizabeth was extremely helpful in guiding me to successfully build my practice. Her experience, creative problem-solving and support helped me learn the steps I needed to take to achieve my goals. She also acted as a accountability partner, which helped to motivate me to complete my tasks. I would recommend her to any clinician looking for support and guidance in building a successful private practice.

Tonya Ladipo, LCSW, Culturally Relevant Consulting

Elizabeth was a dedicated counselor and supervisor. During our time working together at Victim Services Center, she worked with her clients and supervisees to stress the importance of managing their own self-care. She introduced me to the concept of Vicarious Trauma and impressed upon me the necessity of balancing my own needs with the demanding work of working with trauma survivors.

Elizabeth fully supported ways to improve our counseling techniques and she connected our department with a well respected play therapist. During my time working with Elizabeth I developed a respect and appreciation for trauma work. She encouraged me to continue with my training and to grow and learn more.

Heather Pitcher-Heft, Independent Mental Health Care Professional

Elizabeth is an incredibly gifted counselor. Her years of experience and training working with varied populations allows her to conceptualize her clients and their issues rapidly; yet she is careful to get to know each client as a unique individual with specific needs. She is holistic in her approach and sees the counseling relationship as a partnership in healing and discovery. Her nurturing, kind, and respectful presence enable her to make the counseling process safe and comfortable. Elizabeth is constantly seeking training and education in her field, therefore offering the most current techniques and clinical research findings in her practice. Her talents as a counselor are reflective in her work as a supervisor, and our professional relationship was very instrumental in my growth as a counselor. I never think twice before sending her a referral, and trust her work implicitly.

Jaimee Arndt, LPC

Becoming a LPC was an achievement that wouldn’t have been possible without the help and guidance of Elizabeth. I had the amazing opportunity to have Elizabeth as my Clinical Supervisor for the duration of my clinical hours. Elizabeth’s many years of experience, knowledge, insight and support throughout my journey made her a great mentor and supervisor. Elizabeth was approachable, caring, reliable, and professional which I greatly appreciated for our work together. She will walk you through the process and will also provide the necessary guidance which will enable you to grow professionally as you work with your clients. The input, feedback, and direction I received from Elizabeth was immensely helpful. If you are seeking a well-qualified, ethical and highly experienced professional to assist you through the journey of obtaining your clinical hours for your LPC, I highly recommend Elizabeth.
