Elizabeth McKee, LCSW

Grounded Support for High Achievers, Families, and Individuals Facing Life’s Most Demanding Seasons

Therapist for High Achievers, Parents, and Families Under Pressure

With over 40 years of experience, Elizabeth McKee brings a calm, steady presence to clients navigating stress, grief, family strain, burnout, or the quiet toll of always being the strong one. She is especially attuned to high-functioning individuals. Those who appear capable and composed on the outside, yet carry an invisible weight of pressure, expectation, and emotional exhaustion.

Elizabeth’s background spans schools, hospice care, addiction treatment, and private practice. Whether working with a parent juggling everything, a professional feeling isolated at the top, or a student struggling to keep up appearances, Elizabeth offers a safe, judgment-free space to explore what’s beneath the surface. Her approach is thoughtful, practical, and supportive, grounded in evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and systems theory.

High achievers often struggle to give themselves permission to pause, feel, and ask for help. Elizabeth offers therapy that honors both your competence and your complexity, helping you reconnect to what matters most, without having to perform or prove a thing.

She currently offers both telehealth and in-person sessions in Washington, CT.
