About

I’m Elizabeth.

If you’ve ever felt simultaneously humbled and honored, you have an idea how I feel each time I join my clients in a counseling session.

Bearing witness to another person’s life experience – pain, joy, or something in between – is a profound privilege for me.

Professional counseling is my second career. After completing my undergrad in conservation biology from UW-Madison, I worked in a lab for several years. It was a job I genuinely enjoyed, but my priorities shifted once I had a toddler and new baby at home. Realizing I wanted to spend those first few year’s home with them was more than a pivotal moment.

Ultimately, it was the catalyst that propelled me into Professional Counseling.

A few years – and a lot of soul-searching – later, at 39 years old, I enrolled in Lakeland University’s Professional Counseling graduate program which included a clinical internship at The Family Center.

Since then, I’ve supported kids and their families as a psychotherapist for Common Threads; have taught graduate level counseling and therapy courses for Lakeland University and Edgewood College; and have been in private practice since 2016.

I’m extremely grateful for the journey that brought me to this incredible profession and to the exceptional clients I’ve so far been privileged to serve. I cannot wait to meet my future clients and support their inevitable and inspiring transformations.

Outside of client sessions, you'll probably find me walking my dog, trying new recipes, reading a book (OK – listening on Audible), or enjoying a cup of coffee with a friend. Coffee, in my opinion, should really be included as its own food group.

Meet Kirstin.

In 2024 I was ready to bring on much needed extra help and was lucky enough to find Kirstin Roble. She has since become an indispensable and integral part of the practice and I simply can’t imagine myself or our clients not having her support.

Kirstin brings a diverse and varied work and educational background to the practice. She earned degrees in Music with minors in Classical Studies and Creative Writing, and has held roles as an opera chorister, liturgical musician, private voice teacher, and Artistic Coordinator for the Wisconsin Dickens Carolers, a seasonal caroling group.

While building her skills and resume in music, Kirstin developed interests in digital marketing and Executive Administrative work. She has worked as a social media manager for organizations ranging from small entrepreneurs to large multi-location entities. As an Executive Administrative Assistant, she has provided support for small business owners, including a digital marketing agency.

Outside of work, Kirstin studies classical ballet and pointe. She is passionate about dance and currently teaches Tiny Dancers and Pre-Ballet with BalletU in Verona, WI.

Kirstin shared that she loves working at our practice because she enjoys helping others and connecting with people. She is excited to be part of Elizabeth Disch Counseling, LLC!
