Meet Liz Clarkin, a LCSW & Owner of NECC

Liz is a licensed clinical social worker with a wealth of experience and a deep passion for helping others. Since 2016, Liz has been making a meaningful impact in the mental health field, working across diverse settings such as inpatient hospitals, residential treatment centers, and community-based programs. Her dedication and expertise led her to a leadership role in community-based non-profit managing state contracts with the goal of reducing mass incarceration and addressing the mental health needs of people impacted by the legal system.

A Natural Mentor

Throughout her career, Liz has discovered that her greatest fulfillment comes from empowering fellow mental health professionals to reach their full potential. She has worked for UConn and University of St Joseph as a field instructor and academic advisor for their MSW programs. She was able to use these opportunities to mentor graduate students and provide them with valuable support that helped them develop their clinical skill set.

But Liz's commitment to professional development extends far beyond academic settings. Her management experience in non-profit leadership taught her that the best outcomes happen when professionals have the right support, resources, and freedom to focus on their strengths. She witnessed firsthand how administrative burdens and inadequate support systems can burn out even the most passionate therapists—and she was determined to create a different model.

A Mission-Driven Transition

After gaining extensive experience in non-profit management and higher education, Liz made the strategic transition to running her private practice full-time. Drawing from her management background and deep understanding of what mental health professionals need to thrive, Liz built New England Counseling & Consulting around a simple but powerful philosophy: when therapists have comprehensive support and true professional freedom, both they and their clients flourish.

Why Liz Created This Practice Model

Liz's unique combination of clinical expertise, management experience, and genuine passion for professional development drives everything she does as a practice owner. She understands the challenges facing both emerging therapists building their careers and seasoned professionals seeking more autonomy and flexibility. Her goal is to remove those barriers entirely. Liz believes therapists should wake up excited about their work, not stressed about marketing, billing, or administrative tasks.
