Getting to know Elaine Navar

As a therapist, I focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, and grief and loss. I'm committed to helping individuals understand how personal experiences impact how we perceive ourselves and how they can affect our potential for growth and healing. My clinical approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I hold a Master's in Social Work and a Bachelor's degree from The University of Utah, which have provided me with a strong foundation to support my clinical work. My aim as a therapist is to provide a non-judgmental space to address these feelings as well as create an opportunity to explore how we make meaning out of our daily struggles. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking the great outdoors, drinking a good cup of coffee, and admiring art. If you're struggling to cope with the challenges of sadness, low self-esteem, and anxiety, please schedule a session with me.

Obsessed with her
I finally feel ready for therapy and the work with it, meeting Elaine was perfect, i feel so comfortable talking to her and willing to to try all the treatment and tools she can provide
Oh my goodness, I feel significantly lighter.
She was great! :)
Elaine made some changes on the go, which makes me feel heard. But she was great at getting us back on track for what I think will be needed this week.
Thank you for pairing me with a great therapist
I've had experience with several therapists, each fine in his or her own way. Elaine, however, has been a great fit for me. I love that she doesn't waste too much time on small talk each session, yet I still feel comfortable opening up, asking questions, and being vulnerable. She is always on time and is often willing to go overtime if we're on a roll. I also appreciate that she understands that therapy is work and assigns tasks to do in between sessions, and then follows up! Elaine is especially good at getting input on what I want to work on, but realizes she is the expert and can guide me in figuring out where to go next. She knows how to give an overview of each session and the therapy experience in general; this helps me get the most out of each session. I've really enjoyed working with Elaine!
