Getting to know Dr. Elaine Jamina Steele

Hi there, I'm Elaine! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Wright State University. A native New Yorker, a transplanted Ohioian, and currently, I am proudly stationed at one of the largest joint bases in the U.S. My approach I see myself as being on a journey with individuals. I walk alongside them in their life journey, providing tools to decrease the pain and suffering they experience. As a co-journier, I offer skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, healing from trauma, eliminating toxic thought patterns, and increasing a sense of power and control over one's life. I strive to help individuals feel safe, heard, and understood. I see myself as a facilitator of psychological healing. My focus I typically work with individuals seeking to heal from trauma, particularly military-related trauma, as well as childhood trauma. I also support those struggling with depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, difficulties with focus and emotional regulation, coping with migraines or other chronic pain issues, and managing stress. My communication style I am direct and task-focused, providing safe spaces for individuals to be heard. My journey to mental healthcare My drive comes from a deep commitment to serve and to bring hope and a path forward for those who feel without hope. My goals for you I rarely set goals independently. Instead, I ask what your goals are for treatment. My first session with you I begin by explaining what psychotherapy is, my role, confidentiality, and ask for your permission to proceed. We then explore what brought you to therapy, including sleep issues, depressive symptoms, anxious worrying, panic attacks, fears, avoidance behaviors, impulsivity, substance use, and trauma history. I ensure you are not at risk of harming yourself or others and that you feel safe. And yes, I do ask about family and childhood.
