Reviews, Testimonials & What People Are Saying about SOUTH TAMPA THERAPY! Book “I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Mahaney for the past three years. She is the most knowledgeable therapist I have engaged with. Dr. Mahaney is extremely passionate about the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, has had extensive training over her 20+ years as a therapist and is a highly skilled educator, working as a Supervisor for those of us new to the field. Though Dr. Mahaney is experienced working with many therapeutic modalities; her knowledge and practice of the Gottman Method and Non-Violent Communication really shines through as a huge strength. I have had the privilege to not only learn about Gottman and NVC through her teachings but have also watched her in action with several clients. The Gottman processes Dr. Mahaney employs, helps clients gain new insights, acquire more compassion and understanding, practice new methods of how to have constructive conflict, deepens the friendship between partners and has ultimately helped couples create amazing relationships. I highly recommend Dr. Mahaney when seeking a therapist for relational therapy and/or when wanting to work with a skilled Gottman trained therapist!” — https://g.co/kgs/BGfxuU “Elizabeth’s specialty in helping couples navigate the challenges of communication issues, conflict, and infidelity is exceptional! With her expertise in marriage counseling, she excels in supporting couples to reconnect, rebuild trust, save their marriages, & enhance intimacy. I highly recommend her services if you need help with your relationship issues.” — https://g.co/kgs/QUVMuY2 “I met with Elizabeth virtually and it was clear to me that she had so much knowledge and understanding of finding different ways to meet a clients need. I loved how she took the time to truly listen and understand how to move forward with a game plan. She actively sends over tools to use and has such an organized process.” — https://g.co/kgs/y2dU1jh “I started seeing her in September 2019 when I was heavily struggling with the postpartum depression of being a new mom. From the moment I met her, I was taken aback by how incredibly kind she was and how it felt like for the first time since I had given birth.. someone was actually listening to me. She was attentive in a way I’d never experienced before from other therapists. The way she structured my treatment plan catered to my ADHD and that also meant the world to me. We have come such a long way at this point and I swear that words could never do her the justice she deserves in being such a wonderful person and having such a helping hand in the changes I’ve made in my life.” — https://g.co/kgs/YYhJmN4 “I struggle with anxiety and even finding an LMHC to help me was a struggle, but I am so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Mahaney. She responded to my text inquiry immediately and provided a link to book and went above and beyond to help me with acquiring an ESA letter. She not only wrote the letter, but took the time to fill out an additional form that I needed and has continued to be an advocate for me. She goes above and beyond and makes the processes of getting help easy and stress-free.” — https://g.co/kgs/UREa9z6 “Working with Liz has been a pleasure.

This way, we will be able to create the relationship with our eyes wide open! Sounds simple but we both had an AHA moment with Liz. She is so easy to talk to and we recommend her to anyone!!! She isn’t a traditional type therapist. She does things quite differently. She uses a strength based and solution focus approach.

Words cannot begin to describe how much she has helped me. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an outstanding therapist.” — L.F. Google Review https://g.co/kgs/CfrxQQ “I greatly appreciate Elizabeth’s guidance and expertise! Her work ethic and clinical knowledge are profound. I can’t wait until the yurt is here- many fun collaborations on the way!” — Intern Aisha Warner https://www.facebook.com/pg/SouthTampaTherapyMediation/reviews/ “Practical, empathetic, engaging and insightful. At first I was somewhat confused by (and a little skeptical of, frankly) her methods—she uses something called a Trello board (and yes theres an app for that) as a means of delivering content and providing a “template” to follow and collaborate, online. But by golly it really works, if you just go with it and put in the necessary work. We went from confused and hopeless, to energized and empowered within a short period. We liked that her methodology seems to be highly influenced by Dr. John Gottman. For us, she provided (or more like facilitated) very constructive couples therapy—we found the homework and structure to be way more effective than the typical talk therapy we had tried (to no avail) prior to that. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 would be, if youre lazy shes not for you—working with Liz, what you get out of it is commensurate with the effort that you put into it. But we give her 5 stars because she was a good fit for us.” — T.O. Google Review https://g.co/kgs/CfrxQQ “Dr. Elizabeth Mahaney was recommended by friends of ours who were headed toward divorce. She helped them overcome their difficulties and helped save both of our relationships! The program that she develops and individualizes for each couple was easy to learn, apply and track progress. Dr. Liz helped us learned how to communicate effectively and she gently held each of us accountable for how we were “actually” showing up in our relationship. “AHA” Moments GaLoRe!! Thank you SO much Dr. Mahaney... We thank our lucky stars that we found you <3” — W.M. Google Review https://g.co/kgs/CfrxQQ “Liz is absolutely amazing!
