Elisha Mairet
Life can bring experiences that leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure of how to move forward. I support clients navigating trauma, health concerns, difficult emotions, and life transitions. My own lived experiences have shaped the compassion and understanding I bring to therapy. I will meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you build practical tools to feel more grounded, confident, and prepared for life's challenges.
First session
Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. There is no pressure to discuss difficult experiences before you are ready, and we will move at a pace that feels right for you.
Strengths
I understand that life does not always go according to plan. I bring flexibility, patience, and support to our sessions and will adjust our work based on your needs. Together, we can build coping skills, strengthen your confidence, and help you feel more prepared to manage challenges.
Ideal clients
I work with teens and adults who may be navigating a variety of life challenges that can include: trauma, health concerns, difficult emotions, stress, or life transitions. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you better understand what you are experiencing, identify helpful tools, and feel supported as you work toward your goals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Through a collaborative interaction we can explore how your connections between your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors affect your daily life functioning.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Through collaborative interactions we can safely explore your understanding and the impact of different traumatic experiences. We will find helpful coping strategies to use regularly that can minimize the stress during this process.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Many people feel emotions in different ways. There is a wide spectrum that is unique to each person and because we have so many layers of emotions that can happen at the same time, it can be overwhelming for our system to process. DBT tools can help us approach these variety of emotions in a helpful way so our system can work more effectively.
EMDR
Traumatic experiences can occur from many different ways the body and brain processes intense and alarming information. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be option for clients to use to help their brain and body speed up the processing or digesting of these situations that have built up over time and cause distress.
Eclectic
While I have experience and training in many different types of therapy methods, I take a similar approach with them all; I adjust and offer different treatment options based on the client's preference and style of treatment. Through our collaboration, each client will help me design the treatment approach. We will find a recipe of strategies that is unique to this point of their journey. I encourage clients to advocate for themselves and reflect on their treatment often so if we come across an unhelpful strategy we can comfortably adjust.
