Getting to know Elise Froistad

Hi there, I'm Elise! I'm Elise Froistad, LMFT, with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. Sometimes life isn’t working, or people don’t feel their best but aren’t sure why. They know they want life and/or themselves to be different and need someone to help make those changes. I partner with people to help them figure out what isn’t working and find solutions that lead to improved well-being, functioning, and greater satisfaction in their relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them. My approach I use a holistic approach, often helping clients identify the root cause of their current situation and how it contributes to their mood, functioning, and relationship quality. I guide them in asking the right questions and finding answers that work for them through a variety of modalities. My focus I work with teens through adults of all ages. While I have mostly worked with women, I also have experience with men. Most of my clients experience anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship and identity struggles, or grief. The people I work with often feel stuck and need help moving forward. My communication style I strive to provide a safe, compassionate space where people can share what might otherwise feel uncomfortable and explore topics they may not have previously discussed or even considered. I hope those I work with feel free to be exactly who they are as we work together to find solutions and develop skills for change. Though I take all people and situations seriously, I also use humor when appropriate, as laughter and a fresh perspective can be healing. My journey to therapy I have been a helper all my life, starting in elementary school as a reader and tutor to younger students.
