Let's start the conversation.

Elizabeth Cotter
M.S., L.P.C.
Welcome! I'm Elizabeth Cotter, and I am a mental health advocate, presenter, therapist, and educator with a specialization in trauma focused services for women, children, and young adults.
I collaborate with schools, nonprofit agencies, early childhood centers, private practice practitioners, and corporate environments to support the establishment of trauma informed practices that promote the optimal well-being of clients, students, and staff.

Formal support and guidance for mental health providers focused on furthering their clinical development, personal self-care, and professional goals. Individual and group sessions available virtually and in person within the state of CT.
School Staff Consultations
Mental health support that works in partnerships with school staff to create a trauma attuned approach to education customized for the unique culture of your district. Introduces evidence-based trauma attuned interventions and promotes reflective practice and self-care for teaching staff and/ or pupil personnel.

Collaborative classroom-based observation and coaching for professionals working closest with our youngest learners. Provides support and education on child development, social emotional skill building, and understanding challenging behaviors.
What is trauma informed care?
Trauma informed care is a framework that understands the pervasive impact of trauma in the context of community and recognizes the effects trauma has on families, groups, organizations, and communities as well as individuals. Trauma informed care is distinctive from trauma specific services and is focused on the culture of the organization.
