Therapy

Elizabeth O’Brien, LPC, PMH-C

Psychotherapy, consulting, and systems-level care rooted in mental health, caregiving, and social change.

I’m Elizabeth—a psychotherapist, consultant, and founder of The Shift Shop.My work sits at the intersection of nervous system science, feminist business design, and systems-level care. For over three decades, I’ve worked with women, families, leaders, and organizations navigating trauma, transition, caregiving, and change.

Reimagining Business as a Practice of Care and Cultural Change

At The Shift Shop, feminist business design is rooted in the belief that how we work, lead, and care for one another shapes our collective wellbeing.

Much of what we call burnout reflects systems that ignore caregiving realities, relational labor, and human capacity. This work moves beyond extractive models of success toward approaches grounded in sustainability, nervous system awareness, relational leadership, and community care.

Through consulting, speaking, workshops, and collaborative partnerships, I help individuals and organizations build cultures that support both human wellbeing and long-term impact.
