Meet Liz Baumeister, LCSW

Welcome to Liz Nickole Therapy. I'm Elizabeth Nickole McCarty Baumeister, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy services.

 

I specialize in supporting individuals and families who are coming from—or preparing to transition to—higher levels of care. Whether your loved one is returning home from a treatment center or you're facing the possibility of a higher level of support, I help families rebuild trust, restore communication, and make sense of what’s happened.

​

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, my approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and grounded in compassion and honesty. I offer a safe space for individuals to heal, understand their story, and decide how they want to move forward.  I also help parents and caregivers make space for their own pain while staying steady and supportive in the face of their child’s struggle. Together, we’ll address the ruptures, prepare for the reality of reintegration, and develop practical strategies to strengthen family systems and reduce relapse risk.

​

I’m not here to sugarcoat the process—but I do believe in healing, resilience, and the power of showing up differently. If your family is navigating a major transition or still feeling the aftershocks of trauma, you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s work together to create a path forward.

In my free time, I can be found spending time with the important people in my life and my pets. I enjoy traveling, exploring new areas, being outdoors, and trying new restaurants. I'm a huge foodie! Music is a big part of my life, and I love going to concerts and festivals. In the evenings I like to watch a variety of TV shows or work on whatever art project I have at the moment.
