meet Elizabeth
Elizabeth Wellington, MA, LPC, PMH-C
Elizabeth is a psychotherapist, mom of two, and co-founder of Moms Feelin’ Themselves. She specializes in maternal mental health and works with mothers navigating anxiety, identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, and the real, often unspoken realities of modern motherhood.
Elizabeth’s work blends modern psychoanalysis, neuroscience, somatic and nervous system practices, mindfulness, group psychotherapy, and movement, grounded in the belief that healing doesn’t happen through insight alone, but through embodiment, relationship, and community. With over 15 years in the wellness space and more than a decade of clinical experience, she creates spaces and experiences that are transformative without being intimidating, emotionally honest, deeply supportive, and often funny and relatable.
Her approach resonates with mothers who want depth without jargon, structure without rigidity, and practices that actually work in real life. Elizabeth helps mothers reconnect with themselves, trust their inner cues, and feel more grounded, empowered, and human in their lives and relationships.

what I believe in
I value inclusivity and seek to support, serve and celebrate all couples, families and their love, across gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, race, and religion. While seeking to be an ally, I am also aware that unconscious implicit bias exists, and we may not get it right from time to time. Further, I acknowledge that gendered, heteronormative language and assumptions abound in the wedding, marriage, childbirth and parenting space, including in words like "bride," "groom," “mom,” “dad,” etc. I am committed to educating myself, taking feedback, engaging in difficult conversations, and including diverse voices to ensure that my office is a safe, loving space for all.
How can I help you?
