Getting to know Elihu Goretsky
Hi there, I'm Eliott!
Greetings, my name is Eliott Goretsky, and I am a California State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. Since 2004, I have provided individual, family, and group counseling to a culturally diverse population across the Southern California region, including 10 years with Riverside University Healthcare Systems in the desert region. From 2016 to 2021, I worked extensively with chronic, high-acuity patients at Kaiser Permanente, offering clinical assessment, treatment planning and outside referrals, clinical care management, and group psychotherapy. For the past year, I have worked as a contracted telehealth clinician providing adult individual and couples counseling sessions.
My approach
My approach to therapy is eclectic in nature. I endeavor to deliver client-centered treatment, utilizing a variety of modalities to address issues such as mood disorders, recovery from addictive behaviors, traumatic events, grief/loss, and other phase-of-life challenges. I look forward to meeting you and helping you along your journey!
My focus
I currently work with telehealth patients to address a varied range of mental health issues including adjustment disorder, phase-of-life issues, work/life stressors, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and addiction/recovery concerns. I see only adults and mature adults in both individual and couples therapy sessions.
My communication style
I strive to create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment, providing my clients with unconditional positive regard and support. I approach each session with a blend of focus, concern, excitement, creativity, and even humor when appropriate.
My journey to therapy
As a young adult, I was initially drawn to Southern California for my education and lifestyle. My early work experiences were in the entertainment industry and later in publicity and development at a nonprofit agency.
