Marci Elliott
I'm a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy clinician who has been practicing for over 20 years. SFBT focuses on identifying and building your existing strengths rather than exploring the origins of your problem. In other words, we will focus on solutions versus dwelling on problems. My specialties include navigating toxic relationships, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, life transitions, career confusion, and grief. I also understand the unique emotional challenges that can come with caring for chronically ill or aging humans and pets. Making medical decisions, coping with compassion fatigue related to caregiver stress, anticipatory grief, and facing eventual loss. All this can be overwhelming. You don't have to navigate those experiences alone. *PLEASE NOTE: All NEW client intake paperwork is required to be completed AND submitted no later than 24 hours prior to our appointment or we will need to reschedule. Thank You.
I cut right to the chase and by the end of our first session will provide you with coping skills specific to your needs that you can put to use immediately.
First session
We will determine what is on your mind and then identify the coping skills that best fit your unique situation—tools you can begin using immediately to regain a sense of emotional peace. Visit my website at www.marcielliott.com to learn more. If you think we might be a good fit, I invite you to schedule an appointment so you can begin feeling better as soon as possible. Please keep in mind, that successful therapy requires a willingness to make changes. Most importantly, you should be seeking therapy because you want it—not simply to satisfy someone else's expectations.
Strengths
My goal is to help you make meaningful progress as efficiently as possible. Therapy should equip you with practical tools that empower you to move forward with confidence. My philosophy is simple: Helping people heal—because when people are healthier, relationships are healthier...including the ones we share with the animals who depend on us.
Ideal clients
I prefer to work with clients ages 18 and up. I also enjoy working with the elderly. My clients need to understand that therapy involves change and to remember that it is never too late to learn new coping skills. Also, you must be coming to therapy because YOU want it. Don't do it to make someone else happy.
Treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I 've been providing counseling services since 2005 and utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which has been described as "a mental health sprint rather than a marathon." SFBT focuses more on solutions than problems and can be just as effective as longer term therapies for many issues.
