Elisha Black
I am known for my warm, creative, and client-centered approach and work intentionally to create safe, nurturing environments where clients feel seen, supported and empowered. I have experience in a variety of treatment modalities and will collaborate with you to identify and implement the approach that works best for you.
I have seventeen years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist in both agency and private practice settings.
You set the tone of the session, I will follow your lead. I will listen to you intently and empathically, validate your experiences and follow up with clarifying and/or open ended questions. I will be more or less directive, depending on what works best for you and provide psycho-education as needed/desired.
First session
In our first session together, we will review documentation and policies, identify treatment goals and discuss treatment preferences.
Strengths
Clients have expressed appreciation for my sincere, friendly demeanor, empathic validation of experiences and genuine interest/engagement during sessions.
Ideal clients
Throughout my career, I have specialized in helping children, adolescents and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, grief, family conflict, academic struggles, and experiences of abuse and trauma. I enjoy working with diverse populations and respect and integrate a client’s unique cultural background—including race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexual orientation—into the treatment process.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I use a flexible, personalized approach that combines techniques from various treatment modalities to tailor treatment to the individual’s unique needs, personality, and goals.
