Hello! My name is Elysa Thangchaipinyokul and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. I attended the University of Southern California and graduated in 2010 with my Master of Social Work (MSW) Degree. I've worked in mental health for over 10 years in both outpatient and inpatient environments providing psychotherapy primarily to adults and older adults.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, I will give you a brief introduction about myself so you feel comfortable with who you will be working with in your journey. Then, I want to get to know your story and the reasons that brought you to work with me. From there, we will work together to create a meaningful plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
After working in mental health for over 10 years, I truly believe that I can work with my clients and facilitate positive change and support inner healing. My communication style is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and empowering. I want my clients to feel supported, self-aware, and resilient so they are able to navigate life's challenges with a greater sense of emotional well-being.
