About Dr. Jenkins
​Thank you for visiting my website. I'm Elizabeth, and I'm a licensed psychologist and clinical service director of Professional Health Consulting, LLC. I received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Miami with a specialization in behavioral medicine, and I completed my doctoral internship at the Tampa VA Hospital. Following completion of my internship, I had the honor of working as a clinician and an educator with veterans and their health care providers for another 17 years. After retiring from the VA in 2018, I continued to see individuals through my private psychotherapy practice.
Currently, I offer counseling to NC and FL residents who are seeking assistance with areas such as mood and anxiety disorders, anger management, substance use disorders, adjustment to acute and chronic illness, health behavior change, interpersonal skills building, and conflict resolution. I've also continued to provide education and coaching to leaders, healthcare professionals, professional athletes, and other individuals/groups who wish to enhance their effectiveness and their health and wellbeing in the workplace. Over the years, I've enjoyed co-authoring several books on motivation and behavior change, and I am committed to integrating my understanding of the science behind motivation and behavior change into my therapy practice as well as into my trainings.

​In 2022, after my youngest child graduated, my husband, our 2 very large dogs, and I moved from Tampa Bay to the Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina, where we now live on a small farm full of wildlife, honeybees, and an orchard.
It is not unusual during an online session with me to see one or both dogs sleeping/snoring in the background or poking their heads into the camera to say "hello."
