Today, we’d like to introduce you to Liz Higgins.
Hi Liz, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Millennial Life Counseling began as a vision to provide a professional, therapeutic space for millennial couples and individuals to create epic marriages, relationships, and lives.
As a budding couples therapist, I wanted to devote focused attention to an underserved space: couples therapy and relational therapy for individuals who were navigating the sometimes treacherous waters of dating, engagement, marriage, parenting, or just long-term commitment and wellness in the modern world.
Since our beginning in 2017, we have served hundreds of couples and provided life-changing experiences to millennials in our community.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road to growing our purpose-driven company, building a team, and weathering a global pandemic has certainly produced some interesting stories!
Entrepreneurship has also been an unexpected journey for me personally (although I would say it has always been in my blood as a right-brained creative). I have simultaneously loved and loathed the growth edges that have required me to level up personally and in professional ways!
As the saying goes, “change is mandatory; growth is optional,” I have been grounded in the fact that growth leads to greater fulfillment, flourishing relationships, and making a greater impact in our community and world.
I appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
At MLC, we 100% specialize in relational wellness. This means that we encourage our clients to commit to their relational growth, which leads to greater trust and more courageous interactions in their lives and partnerships. We embody this internally as well, growing together as a team in our clinical craft as relational therapists.
Sometimes, the work we do is with couples (over half of our clients are partners in a relationship), and other times, the relational work we do is with an individual looking to heal from past traumas so that they can grow forward to cultivate an incredible life and manage stress and anxiety in more effective ways.
We find that other providers in the area turn to us for therapeutic support for couples. It is not every day that you find a practice focused primarily on working with couples; it can be a more challenging area to navigate sometimes. After all, we are holding such valuable space for two experiences in the room.
Our core values include providing an elevated client experience and pursuing clinical excellence, and I am confident that our team will be able to help clients along the way. We often receive feedback from clients who wish they had started therapy sooner! Therapy truly provides so many benefits on an internal and interpersonal level.
What matters most to you?
As reflected in our values, our client’s experience matters most to us. We grow in our craft so that we can provide an ELEVATED experience to those reaching out to us for therapeutic support. It’s not easy to a) find a therapist that you feel is actually a good fit for you (and sometimes to even get a phone call back, which pains me to say), but b) work with a therapist that you feel truly GETS you and understands the nuances of being an adult in a modern world with a ton of pressure and chaos happening around us.
While other businesses out there take on a ‘what works best for me’ approach, we take pride in entering our client’s experiences with a ‘what can we do to serve you’ approach. We truly care about what you experience in your therapeutic process, as well as between your sessions and beyond. It is a true privilege to walk alongside our clients, managing pain, brokenness, and trauma so that they can source hope and healing in our space.
