Connecting the Dots

Elliot greatly appreciates that we are all unique individuals and that mental health treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. They believe that each person’s individual strengths should guide the therapeutic process in a way that is collaborative and supportive of ones’ needs. Elliot’s approach allows the client’s goals and dreams to lead the way while they help facilitate change that aligns with their desires and values.

One of Elliot’s greatest clinical skills is the ability to balance being supportive with timely challenges to facilitate growth and progress. They find great value is watching clients connect the dots in real time, fulfilling untapped potential, and growing alongside them.

Elliot is an animal lover and has two cats and two dogs. In their free time, they enjoy reading non-fiction books and playing video games.

You may be faced with the question, “Does my child need medication for their mental health?” If your child is worried, sad, angry, or overwhelmed, encourage them to talk to a trusted adult. If they are struggling with things like regulating emotions, controlling anger, or focusing it may be a good idea to discuss it with a medical professional.
