Healing Begins in the Present Moment – Find Your Strength, Build Your Resilience

Lizzie Leonard, LICSW
I first graduated from UVM with a Bachelors in Psychology and then went on to earn a Masters in Social Work in 2019. Since then, I have been providing services to children and families in the Burlington, VT area. I am passionate about creating a space that feels warm, accepting, and genuine.
At Rooted Hope Counseling Services, I believe that every person possesses unique strengths, resilience, and the capacity for growth- even during life’s most challenging seasons. Using a client-centered, strengths-based approach, I create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, processing difficult or traumatic experiences, or struggling with anxiety or depression, you don’t have to face it alone.
I am committed to practicing in a way that is anti-racist, reflexive, and identity-affirming, where your lived experiences are honored and respected. My goal is to foster an environment where you feel seen, valued, and safe to show up as your authentic self. Together, we can create a foundation of trust, belonging, and connection that supports meaningful healing and growth. Healing begins in the present moment, and while we cannot change the past, we can work together to understand its impact, build healthy coping strategies, and create a foundation for lasting growth.
