About Ilizabeth Schattner

Ilizabeth Schattner is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI) and Associate Therapist at Elite DNA Behavioral Health who works with adults facing everyday challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, stress, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. She also has extensive experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, addiction, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and other complex mental health conditions.

Before becoming a therapist, Ilizabeth spent much of her career in the corporate world in marketing, business development, and project management. That experience gave her a real understanding of pressure, burnout, balancing responsibilities, and what it feels like to appear successful on the outside while struggling internally. Five years ago, she chose to follow a deeper calling and transition into the mental health field.

Ilizabeth spent two years as a group therapist in residential treatment and Partial Hospitalization Programs, helping individuals facing addiction and serious mental illness. She has also worked as an individual therapist, supporting clients with everything from ADHD and anxiety to trauma recovery and personal growth. Having personally learned how to successfully manage ADHD and anxiety, she brings both clinical expertise and genuine understanding to her work.

Her approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. Depending on the goals of treatment, she may draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), emotion-focused interventions, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused techniques—balancing practical skill-building with deeper emotional processing.

Her style is warm, direct, and action-oriented—creating space for clients to process difficult experiences, build on their strengths, and create meaningful change in everyday life.
