Lizzy Maurno (She/Her)

I have three years of experience working with adolescents and young adults struggling from eating disorders including Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder and OSFED. I have worked with clients both in recovery and those who are actively participating in treatment such as those in outpatient programs.

I have three years of experience working with clients with personality disorders, particularly Borderline Personality Disorder and Histrionic Personality Disorder. I have expertise in teaching and fostering emotion regulation skills for those who are deep feelers and struggle to cope effectively with intense and overwhelming emotions.

I have three years of experience working with clients who are survivors of all kinds of trauma, including sexual abuse/assault, physical/emotional/verbal abuse histories, medical trauma, and exposure to violence and death. I also have experience working with clients with complex trauma who have dealt with several different forms of trauma throughout their lives.

I utilize DBT with most of my clients, tailoring my approaches to their specific needs. I am well-versed in all 4 modules of DBT and have experience teaching DBT skills and using DBT worksheets.

I have experience in training in Internal Family Systems, which is a theoretical orientation that focuses on the "parts" of an individual that serve to protect and defend them from psychological harm. I use this theory to help clients make peace with the different parts of themselves and learn to have more control over how these parts respond to emotional distress.
