Hi there! My name is Lizzie Ballantyne and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate in North Carolina. I am originally from Frederick, Maryland and moved to Charlotte after spending 6 years in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I’ve earned my Bachelor’s of Arts in Sociology from Duquesne University and my Master’s of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh! 

In my free time, I enjoy to spend time outdoors whether it’s going on walks or being by water (lake, river, beach – any options good with me!). I love spending time with my family and friends. Additionally, I love concerts, music, watching sunsets and romcoms!

I enjoy working with teens but I am open to working with any age group! My previous experience includes working with teenagers to promote mindfulness and learning how to advocate for their needs. My experience also includes working through anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, and confidence.

I believe that every individual has it within themselves to be their best selves and may just need some help along the way. I enjoy using mindfulness, Solutions Focused techniques, and Cognitive-Behavioral Approaches (CBT). However, I recognize every client is different and I will use the approaches that best fit the clients needs and personality. I believe that every individual has it within themselves to be their best selves and I look forward to supporting you along the way!
