Getting to know Elaine Dove

Hi I’m Elaine Dove How would your life change if you could enjoy your relationships, be comfortable with yourself, and reach your full potential? You are one step closer to making this happen. I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping people lead happier, healthier lives. Whatever your therapeutic goals are we work together to develop through our conversations the actions needed to create both immediate and lasting change in a supportive, judgement-free relationship. . My approach My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and active. I often use psychodynamic methods to reveal the conflicts, thoughts, and feelings which are causing distress. Then cognitive behavioral methods, interpersonal and humanistic methods help resolve the problems. I also use humanistic, interpersonal, and at times existential approaches to help increase self-esteem and confidence. My focus I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, I have the most experience helping clients experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, and other self-esteem concerns. However, I also treat depression and relationship issues. My communication style I really want all my clients to feel comfortable talking to me. I am down-to-earth and easy to talk to according to my clients. I want you to look forward to talking with me and working together to make your life more fulfilling and happier. My journey to mental healthcare My friends and family always told me I was easy to talk to had a big heart and that I would make a good psychologist. However, It wasn’t until college that I decided to study psychology and counseling. This work is so rewarding. I have the privilege of being part of people's lives and making a difference. I love working with people and find the relationships that develop and the improvements in their lives from our time together better than anything I would have expected.
