Colten Liz 525 North Nevada Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80903

"I have been seeing Liz for about 3 years. She has helped give me the tools to not only work through childhood and past relationship trauma, but also an eating disorder. I am still working on stuff, but the difference from where I was to where I am now is huge. Of course she won't be right for everyone, but I owe my sanity to Liz, along with now having a semi decent relationship with my mother, and giving me the tools to stop my eating disorder. My mother and I see her together and separately and she keeps us in check and calls us out if we aren't hounding each other and ourselves accountable. I have seen several therapists and Liz is the only one that I ever went back to after 3 sessions."

"I first went to Liz to help with my marriage. She gave us the tools to communicate better and to work through our issues in a productive way. Reading the other reviews I notice that the person writing them did not get the outcome they went in expecting to have. In my experiences with Liz she does not sugar coat or walk around your feelings. She is very honest and straight forward about the outcomes. I went back to her to help cope with grieving the loss of family members. She has truly helped me cope and also gave me excellent advise on how to live life more positively. If you are determined and are willing to do the work I definitely recommend Liz. She is amazing!"

"Do your research when selecting a family therapist or marriage counselor. See a few of them before making your decision...find one that works for both of you. Had I known then what I know now, I might still be married. My main problem with Liz is that my ex started having an affair with a co-worker. Instead of telling the ex that she needed to distance herself from this "man" while she worked on our marriage, Liz gave her a free pass to do whatever she wanted...saying it was her decision whether to end that relationship or not. This goes against what every other therapist we saw had to said. I tried to tell Liz that this "man" was a distraction but Liz wouldn't listen and refused to adjust her approach. In fact, she denied there was an affair to my face...this is how blind this woman was to our situation. Liz also has a habit of continuing to bring up the past and focusing on the negative instead of focusing on the positive aspects of a relationship. We would frequently leave her office feeling worse than when we went in. How can a person believe their marriage is going to get better when you keep dredging up pain in every session? Unfortunately, by the time we did go see someone else, the damage had been done. My ex had convinced herself that absolutely nothing would make our marriage better and she refused to even try. Do I blame Liz for our divorce? No. The fault is squarely on the ex's shoulders. She's the one that chose to do the terrible things that she did. No one made her do them. That said, I do feel Liz played a key role in what happened...as I already stated above. I frequently got the impression Liz felt her way was the only way. It seems to me that Liz has developed a "style" with how she deals with couples and that "style" might work with some...but it doesn't work for all. Liz doesn't seem to grasp that and gets rude when you tell her that. She has a "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude. Do yourself a favor - read the review below mine. My ex will probably write a glowing review but keep in mind that the review is coming from someone who was told what she wanted to hear instead of what she needed to hear. By all means - see Liz if you wish. But keep these reviews in mind. Also - ask her how many couples she's saved compared to how many have split up. I'm willing to bet that the number who have split up exceeds the number of couples she's saved."

"Not every therapist is the right therapist for everyone. Liz was the right one for me. I had seen several therapists over the years for depression. Liz was the first therapist to recognize the years of emotional trauma I had endured when other therapists just treated my symptoms. She helped me find the right trauma specialist that I needed. With Liz’s help and encouragement, I put a lot of work into healing myself. I have never been happier or felt better in my life. I am very thankful to Liz for helping me discover this. Instead of recognizing that Liz was the first therapist to help me on my journey to actual healing, my ex seems to blame her for the failure of our marriage every chance he gets. Liz never tried to convince me of anything. She encouraged me to find my voice and take back control of my life. She supported me in my decisions even if she didn’t agree with them. My children are happy and thriving despite my ex’s attempts at making the divorce as difficult on them as he possibly can. In reading the negative reviews, I’ve come to the conclusion that she was probably not the right therapist for these people and that’s okay. I believe these things should be taken with a grain of salt. In my opinion, they probably didn’t get what they wanted and are unhappy people who blame others for their problems. There are two sides to every story. Please do yourself this favor: Instead of taking some strangers’ word on it (mine included), I encourage you to talk to her and see for yourself if she is the right therapist for you. If not, I hope you find the right one for you."

"Liz is great, very patient and insightful. Really helped my wife and I work through issues that had been building for 30 years. Can't say enough about her ease of exploring very tough issues."
