Elizabeth Handley

Elizabeth Handley, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor and doctoral candidate in Ashland, MA, with over 20 years of specialized experience in neurodevelopmental and behavioral challenges. Her practice is uniquely tailored to support teens and adults navigating ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, learning disabilities, and Oppositional Defiance (ODD). She provides targeted interventions for school-related behavioral issues, homework noncompliance, and the emotional complexities that often accompany educational hurdles.

Offering both in-person and telehealth sessions, Elizabeth focuses on helping clients develop essential coping skills, manage anxiety and depression, and build self-esteem. Her therapeutic approach is non-judgmental and confidential, specifically designed to reduce the overwhelm families often experience when managing OCD, sleep disturbances, or emotional regulation. She also provides specialized guidance for parents navigating family conflict and the complexities of raising children with diverse needs.

Elizabeth is currently accepting new clients and offers a free, confidential initial consultation to discuss personalized treatment options. She accepts most major insurance plans, including BlueCross BlueShield, Harvard Pilgrim, Optum, Tufts, and UnitedHealthcare, and also accepts HSA and various credit cards. Individual sessions are priced at $200, and she is committed to responsive care, aiming to return all inquiries within one business day.
