Welcome, I am so glad you are here. My name is Elsa Raynor and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Thanatologist with over 25 years of experience. I have worked with individuals during their most difficult and challenging moments and am committed to providing the highest quality of services to support you every step of the way. I offer support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, negative self-talk, anticipatory grief and grief and loss.
I believe it is important to treat everyone with dignity, respect and compassion while focusing on goals that are most important to you. The techniques I use draw from various models of psychotherapy including cognitive behavioral, strengths-based, solution-focused and client-centered. Therapy offers you a space to find healing; as well as, learn, grow, and be heard. Through therapy you will be empowered to reach your highest potential as you develop healthy coping skills.
I would be honored to accompany you on your journey as you make changes to be your best self.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
