About Elizabeth:

Elizabeth (Beth) Derickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor. She has a Masters of SocialS Work from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Her clinical approach is based on the Social Work value of improving functionality within an environmental system. Her clinical expertise includes working to improve mental health within the workplace, child development, and family functioning. 

It is such an honor to be able to walk alongside someone during their mental health journey. My hope is that people learn more about themselves and are able to find their own strengths during that process. I don’t know any other job where you get the privilege of being able to connect with people in that way.
