What makes Elizabeth Gillette with Heirloom Counseling a good neighbor?

Celebrating a decade of therapeutic practice, Elizabeth Gillette of Heirloom Counseling shares her compelling journey from personal struggle to professional success in the mental health field. After overcoming Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 21—a diagnosis that temporarily derailed her graduate studies—Elizabeth channeled her experience into developing a unique approach to therapy focused on attachment and relational work.
What makes Elizabeth's perspective so refreshing is her candid take on the therapeutic process. She challenges the popular notion that healing follows a tidy trajectory with Instagram-worthy journaling and self-help books. Instead, she validates the messy, uncomfortable aspects of growth: "If you're uncomfortable, you're doing it right." This honesty provides crucial reassurance to those in the thick of their healing journeys who might otherwise feel they're failing when transformation doesn't come easily.
The conversation takes a profound turn when Elizabeth shares her core belief that "all of the work that you do on yourself radiates out to every aspect of your life." This powerful ripple effect means even small steps toward healing can transform relationships, work, and overall well-being. As a mother of two young boys balancing professional demands with family life in the beautiful landscape of Western North Carolina, Elizabeth embodies the integration she helps clients achieve. For listeners seeking support with relationships or self-understanding, Elizabeth's resources extend beyond traditional therapy to online courses, nearly 200 free blog posts, and her workbook "Attachment Theory for Couples." Whether you're ready to begin therapy or simply exploring tools for better relationships, Elizabeth's compassionate approach offers a path forward without judgment or pressure.
