Meet the Therapist

Hi! I’m so excited for the opportunity to get to know you and potentially work with you! My name is Liz Rich and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both the states of Missouri and Illinois.

I also have my own lived experience as queer, neurodivergent, *fat individual navigating a world not necessarily designed for us in mind, and I bring that experience with me alongside my professional training to my services.

Being a therapist is not just my job, it is a part of who I am. I would not be the person that I am without my own therapeutic journey, without the challenging moments in my life where mental health professionals were there for me. They helped me to feel seen, less alone, helped me to pick myself back up, and guided me through life altering work. I am here because those experiences made this work not just my passion but a part of who I am. I strive to offer therapy that is rooted in authenticity and you will get nothing but my real, genuine self in our sessions.

*I use the word fat in the reclaimed sense, but am open to whatever language feels right to you!
