Getting to know Elisa Murphy
*IMPORTANT NOTICE*: At Healing Connections Counseling Center, goodness of fit is of the upmost importance. Therefore, when booking through ZocDoc, please be aware that your first booking will be a 15 minute phone consultation with our Clinical Care Director, Emily Conte, LPC, who will do a 10-15 minute brief intake phone call to gather your general demographic and insurance information, availability, and reason(s) for seeking treatment. Emily will then verify your insurance and provide you with your coverage information so you know what your financial responsibility will be per session. She will also assure that the clinician you requested is the best fit for your stated needs. We value your time and understand what a vulnerable process therapy can to begin. It is with your care in mind that we follow what has been a very successful intake and therapist assignment process.
About Elisa Murphy, LSW:
Elisa Murphy, LSW, is a “Licensed Social Worker" and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner, Denise Ardito, LCSW, PsyA, License # 44SC05283000. Her current employer is Healing Connections Counseling Center.
I approach therapy with a focus on authentic human connection. I strive to meet each client where they are, valuing their unique experiences, perspectives, and strengths. My approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to explore their growth, healing, and self-discovery.
What should a new client know about working with you?
A new client should know that I approach therapy from a relational, person-centered perspective. I prioritize building a genuine human connection and strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen and understood. I value your unique experiences and strengths, and I work collaboratively with you to explore challenges, identify goals, and support your growth and healing. My focus is on empathy, active listening, and meeting you where you are, so that therapy feels like a partnership rather than a prescription.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My typical process with clients begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship and understanding each person as a unique individual. Early sessions focus on exploring your experiences, values, and goals while creating a safe space for open dialogue. From there, we collaboratively identify areas you’d like to work on and develop strategies that align with your strengths and needs. Throughout therapy, I use a flexible, person-centered approach—listening actively, reflecting, and connecting with you as a human—to support growth, healing, and self-discovery at a pace that feels right for you.

More information on payments and coverage
Healing Connections Counseling Center is in-network with BCBS and Aetna insurance plans, with the exception of any Medicare, Medicaid, EAP, Marketplace, or Carelon related plans. If you have another insurance carrier and your plan has out-of-network coverage, the office will provide you with a super bill to submit directly to your insurance plan. Since we would be considered an out of network provider with any other insurance carriers besides BCBS and Aetna, the client would be responsible for the full fee of the session, which is $150 for a 60-minute session or $125 for a 45-minute session with Elisa Murphy. The client would submit a super bill to their insurance and receive reimbursement (if applicable to their plan) directly from their insurance company. If you need assistance with submitting out of network super bills, we can have a member of our billing department walk you through the process.
