Misha Elder

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works primarily with depression, anxiety, trauma, prenatal and postpartum issues, parenting challenges, and couples issues. I have a concentrated interest in family of origin trauma and love helping adult children form healthy boundaries and patterns of communication with their parents.

I can trace the origins of my interest in the human mind to very early childhood. I always had a natural curiosity about why people behave the way they do and showed a tendency to turn toward those who were struggling around me. I would later learn that these inclinations were the building blocks toward a career in psychology and that my early observations of human dynamics would prove instrumental in connecting with my clients.

As a therapist, I draw from a variety of psychotherapy orientations including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have a patient-first and collaborative approach, as I strive to tailor each treatment plan to each client, using what works and leaving the rest.
