I practice what is called Person-Centered Therapy, meaning it is adapted to you and your needs. I work by the belief that true growth and change comes not just from techniques or plans, but from our relationships with each other. Using a Person-Centered approach, I look to help each person identify and use their own strengths, interests and existing supports to create the positive and healthy life for themselves that they envision. I incorporate professional and personal experiences and interests to create a relationship with clients that will foster trust and communication.

Welcome! My name is David Elliott and I have worked in a variety of settings dealing with intergenerational and complex trauma. My experience spans from early intervention to community mental health clinics, providing counseling services to all individuals. I have found that across all settings and people, the most important aspect of therapy is developing a relationship in which the client feels safe, respected, and held accountable. I am passionate about mental health and can recognize the impact emotions and daily traumas can have mentally. My mission is to help you enhance your quality of life. I offer psychotherapy with an integrative approach utilizing different theoretical frameworks to individualize sessions and goals. While working collaboratively a treatment plan will be tailored to one's own unique specific need. Together the goal is to create an environment where one feels safe, heard, and free to explore all of one's challenges. Together we will explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most effective ways to help make progress. By learning new strategies and gaining a deeper understanding of the origins of these challenges, the goal is to leave sessions motivated, inspired and with a deeper understanding of coping skills including mindfulness based techniques.

I believe everyone has a vision for the life they want to be living and that often times people have difficulty achieving and making their vision a reality. In my work as a psychotherapist I help people develop their own capacities, skills, and inner resources, so they can address their problems, and live a more satisfying life. People often come to therapy to deal with situations and problems that have effected their sense of self and their sense of safety and left them struggling to navigate their lives and relationships. People benefit from and need to be able to heal from the negative ways their pasts have impacted them. I welcome the opportunity to support and guide you on your journey of self-discovery and change, by actively engaging in the process of psychotherapy with you. Some of the problems people come to me with include stress, family and relationship problems, LGBTQ+ and sexual identity issues, anxiety, depression, histories of trauma, and more. I look forward to working with you in your therapy.

I believe that each person wants to find fulfillment in life, and that through the therapeutic relationship, we can work together to achieve this goal. In today's world, there are so many pressures and obstacles that people face on a daily basis. I work to help people identify the factors that affect their lives, assist them in gaining insight into the causes of their problems, and develop real-life solutions to address problematic issues. I use techniques from various types of therapy to achieve this. I work to help people identify their strengths in order to increase resiliency and autonomy and develop growing self-respect. I specialize in treating couples, college students and young professionals, and individuals with borderline personality disorder. I have extensive training in emotionally-focused couples therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy, and I draw from these approaches to best treat each unique person and couple. Perhaps more than any other part of therapy or specific technique, I believe that my empathy, genuine care, and desire to help people are my greatest assets. I devote myself completely to my work and to the people I treat, and strive to make treatment as effective and meaningful as possible, with the continuous goal of creating progress in people's lives.

I work especially well with clients who think deeply, feel intensely, and are tired of talking in circles—whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, low mood, or big life transitions. My approach blends evidence-informed psychotherapy with optional art-based work to help you access emotions, shift patterns, and build steadier self-trust. You don’t need to be “creative” to benefit—this is about expression and insight, not making something perfect.

I specialize in relationship challenges and life transitions, supporting you through breakups, new chapters, and recurring patterns in your relationships. Therapy is a genuine partnership. Using CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based tools, I offer warmth, curiosity, and practical support to help you build insight, resilience, and a clearer sense of self—so your relationships and the life you’re creating feel more aligned with who you are.

Therapy can deepen your capacity for love, trust, and connection — with yourself and with others. I’ve seen it ease depression, anxiety, and shame; strengthen self-esteem; and help people become more resilient during life’s ups and downs. Most of all, it can bring forward a truer, more authentic self. Therapy is a collaborative process. You speak, and I listen closely — for what’s said and what lies beneath the surface — helping you see what may be getting in the way of a more fulfilling life. As Carl Rogers wrote: “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” I’ve found that to be true. Patients find it helpful to explore childhood, memories that bubble up, dreams, feelings, fears, wishes — whatever arises. Our aim is an understanding of your inner world that leads to meaningful action & choice. With couples, I help you listen more clearly & break entrenched patterns. Everyone longs to be seen and heard & I'll help you arrive at that place. As a therapist and writer, I’m inspired to help each patient take hold of their narrative — understanding where they’ve come from & where they’d like to go. As we get to know one another, I tailor my style to your personality and needs. Your feedback is always encouraged. Email me to schedule a consultation & see if we’re a good fit.
