Getting to know Dr. Eleanor Mccabe
Hi!
I'm Dr. El McCabe, but you can call me El. I am a licensed psychologist with a passion for helping LGBTQ+ individuals, students, athletes, and those struggling with romantic, platonic, and familial relationship concerns. Outside of the therapy room, I am an avid fan of NY sports, a big reader, and lover of all things outdoors.
As a therapist, I am warm, relationship-oriented, and challenging. I let you set the pace of treatment and help you build confidence in your innate abilities to heal and persevere during difficult seasons of life. I use a mixture of a talk-therapy (psychodynamic) approach & more structured skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
What should a new client know about working with you?
Expect a deep interest in you as a person, beyond your diagnosis! I strive to strike a balance of compassion and challenge in each session.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
At the start of therapy, I put a lot of emphasis on building a strong working relationship with the client. I will ask many questions to help identify which threads we can work on first in the therapy space. After this initial stage, I fully let the client set the pace of treatment and help them identify therapy goals to work towards. I am flexible being more open-ended or structured, depending on the client's needs and desires.
