My counselor has truly been a blessing in my life. "Don't be afraid of the change, move in it"; Thanks to her, everyday I'm moving one step up the staircase. She's better than yoga :)

Hailing from the beautiful Caribbean, I bring a diverse skill set. I help my clients achieve their maximum potential by using an integrative approach to counseling. Like the butterfly that goes through stages and changes, so it is in the counseling process. As we work together we will look at the past, present, and future and find healthy ways of processing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and progress through the stages of change. I have over 15 years of experience in the counseling field. I am very passionate about helping you emerge into that beautiful butterfly. I am a certified clinical trauma professional and trained in traumatic incident reduction. I use a person-centered approach to help my clients live authentic lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I've enjoyed working with Elisa. She listens well, does her homework and preparation for our discussions and has great value to add with her insights and ideas. I also enjoy thoroughly her values based discussion.
Elisa is very kind and patient. She is very knowledgeable and has been a good fit for me in the short time I have gotten to know her. I would recommend her to others who are struggling and wanting to reach out for help.
Elisa helped me thru a very difficult time and was amazing. She kept me grounded and made me really evaluate the situation and my life. She is a great therapist.
