Nana-Stella Eugene Elort
My name is Dr. Nana-Stella Eugene Elort. I am a licensed clinical social worker and also have a doctorate degree in clinical psychology. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Haiti. I am ready to work with you to identify coping strategies and teach you the skills necessary to achieve your goal of living your best life.
I have worked with individuals, couples, children, and families for over 12 years, focusing on issues including depression, anxiety, juvenile delinquency, trauma, grief, and life transition.
Change begins with hope, hope for a better outcome and a glimmer of possibility that something good will come to those who believe and take action.
First session
My mission is to assist all clients in living their best lives, despite any challenges. My vision is to promote peace and higher self-esteem by making healthier decisions to ensure a lifetime of happiness, serenity, and freedom from toxicity. Now is the best time to live your best life because happiness is indispensable.
Strengths
I have worked with individuals, couples, children, and families for over 12 years, focusing on issues including depression, anxiety, juvenile delinquency, trauma, grief, and life transition. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy are some of the treatment approaches I frequently use. Most importantly, I recognize that each individual, couple, family, or group unit I work with is unique and may require a unique strategy. I excel at being flexible and tailoring approaches to their needs to help them achieve their goals. I am fluent in both English and Haitian Creole and can provide therapy in either language.
Ideal clients
Have you been struggling with an overwhelming feeling of sadness or anger for an extended period of time? Have there been changes in your interactions with family, friends, and colleagues? Are the pressures of school, work, and family beginning to affect you physically, mentally, and emotionally? Maybe you know someone who experiences these challenges and is in need of immediate assistance. Sometimes, it's not only an individual but also a couple, family, or group of people who need help collectively. You are at the right place where challenges are met with hope. I welcome you, and I hope we can speak soon!
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have extensive experience using ACT to help clients manage difficult thoughts and emotions. My approach focuses on teaching mindfulness skills, helping clients clarify their values, and guiding them to take committed actions toward meaningful goals. In sessions, I use practical exercises and supportive conversations to help clients accept what they cannot change and build a life that feels fulfilling and authentic.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I regularly use CBT to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, using proven techniques to challenge negative thoughts and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we break problems into manageable steps, practice new skills, and track progress to help clients feel more confident and in control of their lives.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use solution focused therapy to help clients quickly identify their strengths and build on what is already working in their lives. My approach centers on setting clear goals, exploring past successes, and finding practical steps forward. In sessions, I ask questions that highlight clients’ resources and encourage positive change, helping them feel empowered and hopeful about their future.
