Psychotherapist, Social Worker & Clinical Supervisor

Location: Online

Hi, I’m Liz Hagerty (she/her). I’m a therapist specializing in counselling youth and adults. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of British Columbia and am registered with the BC College of Social Workers (#11384). I live in Vancouver, BC, and work with clients online across the province.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve supported children, youth, young adults, and families in a range of settings, including government, post-secondary institutions, healthcare, and community agencies. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds navigating a wide variety of challenges—such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family issues, life transitions, and personal growth.

In addition to my clinical work, I also teach full-time as an Instructor in the Bachelor of Social Work program at Douglas College.

My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe that every person brings inherent strengths to therapy—resources that can be nurtured and built upon. My goal is to help you identify these strengths and offer practical tools and support to help you move toward your goals, make meaningful changes, and thrive in your life.

  • For me, being a therapist was something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. I have always been interested in human behavior and exploring why we do what we do. Supporting those around me and providing a safe space for them to express their thoughts and feelings is something that I get joy and fulfillment from and have been naturally drawn to. Being able to be a part of someone’s journey is something that I appreciate on a daily basis, being invited into stranger’s lives and witnessing the inner strengths that people are able to harness to move through difficult and painful situations, is an honour for me.
