About Empowered Therapy
Heal · Rebuild · Change
Founder, Elizabeth Burke, LCSW
Empowered Therapy was founded by Elizabeth Burke, LCSW in 2016.
Empowered Therapy was built on the premise that every individual has the capacity to heal, rebuild, and change their lives. Empowered Therapy focuses on working with female identified clients, but we are an inclusive team specializing in treating anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. We work to help individuals and couples improve their lives, strengthen their relationships, and feel more fulfilled.
Empowered’s mission has evolved as our team grew from just two clinicians to a staff of 40. We have worked to develop our dynamic team, with clinicians who are socially justice oriented, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trained in a variety of modalities and clinical concerns.
We provide services in Downtown Chicago and the North Shore. At the moment, we are doing all services virtually to keep our staff and
clients safe.
To empower each client to overcome anxiety, life changes, relationship concerns, and other challenges. Although we work with all people, Empowered Therapy focuses on women and couples who are ready to face their worries. Ultimately, we will work together toward positive change in a supportive, therapeutic environment.
