Liz Revis, Licensed Professional Counselor
Liz is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s in English and Communications, both from Trinity Christian College.
She takes a collaborative, person-centered approach, creating space for clients to explore what matters most to them without needing to justify why it matters. Liz’s work is grounded in acceptance, warmth, flexibility, and curiosity. She understands that many clients have spent years working hard to feel understood, and even harder to be accepted. Her hope is that therapy offers a small pocket of relief: a space where people truly feel understood. She is committed to creating a welcoming environment where people of all backgrounds, identities, orientations, and beliefs feel valued and supported.
Regarding therapeutic style, Liz is intentional about offering guidance only when wanted and always with permission. She views clients as the experts in their own lives and hopes to empower them to advocate for their needs. Drawing from neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and strengths-based practices, she supports clients through both the pain and joy of being human. Whether exploring long-held beliefs that no longer feel true or experimenting with routines that fit a client’s unique brain and wiring, Liz approaches each moment with care and attunement.
Liz recognizes that people move through the world in many different ways. She doesn’t assume difference means something is wrong but also acknowledges that some experiences come with real struggle, and she meets those with compassion. She strives to understand each client’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and processing. Whether offering executive functioning strategies or honoring special interests, her goal is to create a space where clients feel safe enough to unmask. Aware of the toll burnout and masking can take, Liz supports clients in reconnecting with a sense of safety and autonomy. She approaches each client with patience, embracing uncertainty and welcoming “I don’t know” as a valid answer, often believing that the best work starts right there.
Whether a session includes deep processing, celebrating milestones, quoting movies, grieving, naming loneliness, talking about ice cream, or admiring pet photos, Liz values whatever is meaningful to the client. What some call rambling, Liz sees as revealing; she welcomes the winding paths where meaning often emerges.
Her clinical focus includes chronic illness, ADHD, autism, AUDHD, OCD, anticipatory and health anxiety, burnout, complex trauma, career exploration and challenges, relationship and family matters, life transitions, and existential themes. She often incorporates tools such as the Enneagram, values work, and inner child exploration. Outside of sessions, Liz supports clients with personalized resources: worksheets, writing prompts, readings, templates, or advocacy tailored to their needs.
Outside of counseling, Liz enjoys exploring Chicago’s coffee shops and restaurants but remains an introverted homebody at heart. She finds joy in cooking, writing, theater, and collecting small things that make life cozier-especially if they come in pink. A firm believer that 6 a.m. is best left to the birds, Liz values rest, quiet, and a slower pace whenever possible. She believes in always having something to look forward to, whether it’s a long weekend, a holiday, a favorite snack, or a weekend with no plans. When it’s time to unwind and “close some tabs” in her brain, she turns to reality TV, appreciating its lighthearted distraction and mental rest. Liz believes maintaining these small comforts and outlets is essential to overall well-being and encourages clients to find balance amidst life’s many challenges.
