Getting to know Elyse Samuels
Welcome! I’m Elyse, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience, licensed in California, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. I specialize in supporting women, mothers, children, and teens through anxiety, behavioral concerns, and life transitions.
My goal is to support my clients to ensure they have the tools to cope with the challenges life throws our way, and to get to a point where they no longer need to meet with me.
I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to ensure each client receives practical, effective tools for daily life. My work is collaborative and goal-oriented—I partner with every client to help them move toward meaningful, lasting change.
First session
In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and explore the challenges that brought you to therapy. I take a collaborative, structured approach, so by the end of our conversation you’ll have a clear sense of the treatment plan I recommend and the goals we’ll work toward together.
I strive to create a space where you feel grounded, understood, and empowered. We’ll begin identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and start building practical strategies you can use right away—supporting you on the path back to the life you want to live.
Strengths
Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling seen, validated, and equipped to make meaningful changes in their daily lives. I help clients recognize patterns in their thoughts, understand how those patterns influence emotions and behaviors, and practice effective, real-world tools to improve coping and resilience. Our work is hands-on, empowering, and focused on translating insight into action.
Ideal clients
I primarily support two groups of clients:
1. Women experiencing anxiety, depression, fertility challenges, postpartum transitions, or parenting stress.
2. Children and teens (ages 8–18) managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, or behavioral concerns.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I make sure every client feels empowered to create practical solutions that make the hard days more manageable. We work as a team to better understand and change unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns, so you can get back to the life you want to live.
My clients leave sessions feeling seen, validated and empowered to make changes in their daily lives to improve their moods. They often start noticing thought patterns and the impact our thoughts have on our feelings and behaviors. We learn and practice tangible strategies and tools in our sessions that you can immediately start applying to your everyday life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits
