More about Elwanda
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a License Clinical Social Worker in Indianapolis, In. I have over 20yrs in the field working with youth and families. I received my undergraduate degree from Central State University and my MSW from Indiana University in 2014. I have worked as a case manager, care coordinator and a Homebased Therapist. I have worked with different families on a myriad of issues from serious mental health issues, anger management and family conflict.
It is my goal in therapy to help the client process their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. To help them realize that they have the knowledge, power and courage to change their current situation, I always say to my clients "I don't have the answers, I just have the questions to lead you to your answers". Sometimes people just need someone to listen and help them wade through the white noise. It is always my goal to help people reach and maintain optimal mental health whatever that looks like to them. If you are ready to reach your optimal mental health contact me, so that together we can help you become the best version or yourself.

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.
