Biography

Hi! I am Dr. Liz Nitsch, a licensed clinical psychologist, who focuses on the evaluation of children, adolescents, and adults. Since childhood, I have been a compassionate and understanding person who loves to help others. These qualities led me to my major in psychology, during undergrad. Throughout this time, besides my coursework, I worked outside of school in a medical hospital as a patient constant companion. This allowed me to meet people from all walks of life and have a true understanding of what it is to help. During might final year of undergrad I completed my internship with our school of Marriage and Family Therapy, focusing on court ordered families and individuals. I could not get enough of this clinical work and had to move on to graduate school in order to be able to help people even more. In 2012, I graduated from Nova Southeastern University with my Psy.D. In Clinical Psychology. NSU did a great job preparing me for the work force, providing me clinical experience in the Miami Dade department of Human Services and Miami Dade Police Department: Psychological Services. Additionally this education offered me connections leading to work outside of school, doing ABA therapy with a child diagnosed with Autism, Shadowing preschoolers with Autism and ADHD, working in an inpatient psychiatric facility as a case manager and therapist, as well as managing the office of a private psychology practice. Lastly, prior to graduation, I completed my pre doctoral internship at Palm Beach County Youth Affairs working both inpatient and outpatient with adolescents and their families. All this experience led me to a very happy career providing therapy and Evaluations in a private practice setting for the last 12 years. Recently I decided to join the world of virtual assessments, in hopes of reaching more people and getting them the help they need in an accessible and affordable way. I look forward to serving you and will do my best to provide answers and recommendations.

Kids and teens open up to Dr. Liz Nitsch

Parents on children and teens who opened up, trusted their clinician and looked forward to sessions.

I liked that she asked for input from both Logan and Mom. She took the time to allow Logan to explore his thoughts and answer the questions fully. She made us both feel comfortable and at ease.

The way everything was explained in the evaluation, carefully going through each section and explaining what it means and how it applies.

Parent of a 10 year old · Jul 27, 2026

Today I finally accomplished something that I have been putting off for years- getting help for myself. This can feel daunting to most and is truly nerve recking unless you find a Dr. who is compassionate and helpful at every step and I found just that in Dr. Nitsch. I have only had a consultation so far but I have never felt more seen and understood in my life. Dr. Nitsch is a gem and I am happy God placed her in my life. Hoping for a smooth process in this journey.
