Getting to know Melissa Elbert

"Hello, I'm Melissa. Self-care is not selfish. We often believe that taking care of others before we take care of ourselves is the way it should be. But if you are not taking care of yourself, who will? Do you have enough left to address your own needs? Self-care is more than just eating, working, or bathing yourself every day. Self-care is about ensuring that your mental and emotional needs are being met. I want to help you help yourself in getting your emotional and mental health needs met. I hold an MSW and am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. Over the past five years, I have had the privilege of working with clients in their homes, in the office, and through telehealth. My approach is to guide, support, and validate you as you work towards your personal goals. I specialize in a range of areas including addiction, anger management, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, grief, life transitions, OCD, PTSD, intimate relationships, stress, suicidal ideation, and trauma. Whether you are dealing with a specific issue or just need someone to talk to, I am here to help. Working with me means having a safe space where you can express yourself without judgment. I believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and empathy. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns, and develop strategies to help you manage and overcome your challenges. If you're ready to take the first step towards better mental and emotional health, I am here to support you. Let's work together to ensure that your needs are being met and that you are taking care of yourself in the best way possible."
