About Liz Gessel
Hi, my name is Elizabeth Gessel, MA, MFT. I am a licensed Marriage and Family
Therapist and have been practicing in the Los Angeles area for the last 15
years. As a psychotherapist the people who usually come see me are suffering
in some way. There's some kind of pain in their lives that's causing problems in
functioning or emotional well-being. I work to clarify what's happening for them
so that issues get addressed and healing can begin.
But what I've noticed along the way is that these people and many others are
also looking for practical assistance in their lives. They want to do things like
perform better at their job, get their house in order, get rid of clutter, be on
time, or create more happiness in their life—things that most of us want to do!
This has prompted me to move into the coaching field. I wanted to expand my
services and help people in new ways. I enjoy the active collaboration and
partnership created while moving towards your personal goals. The journey of
discovering better what makes you tick and what works for you is an energizing
process—one that is very satisfying for everyone involved.

What's the difference
between Coaching and
Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy focuses on emotional
healing, often dealing with
unfinished business. It also deals
with treating psychological disorders
and relieving emotional distress. On
the other hand, coaching is geared
towards improving personal and
professional functioning and
satisfaction. Coaching utilizes a
collaborative approach designed to
assist clients in taking responsibility
for positive and measurable change
in their lives.
