Hey! My name's Elana. I'm a practicing LCSW who lives in the Los Angeles area. My approach I enjoy working with individuals by creating a safe space through rapport building and providing a supportive environment for one to explore any challenges they may currently be experiencing. I also assist individuals in achieving their personal goals to enhance their quality of life and build a life worth living. My focus I attended Spelman College and earned my Master's degree in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I have experience providing individual, family, and group therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Seeking Safety. I currently work with adults seeking assistance managing presenting symptoms, life stressors, boundaries, interpersonal relationships, trauma, self-worth, and/or ineffective coping mechanisms. My communication style I am an active listener who meets individuals where they are in the moment. I am mindful of tone and delivery while utilizing direct communication with my clients. I am honest, understanding, and able to establish healthy boundaries with others. My goals for you I approach goal setting with my clients in a collaborative effort. I believe it is critical for clients to identify the goals they want to address in treatment. I am also able to assist in brainstorming goals when clients have difficulty. My first session with you Clients should expect to begin rapport building during the first session, including participating in an initial assessment to identify presenting symptoms and chief complaint(s).
