About Elliott | He/him

Elliott is a licensed therapist specializing in trauma-focused care, dedicated to helping clients reclaim their sense of self and well-being. With extensive experience in treating PTSD, dissociation, and complex trauma, Elliott employs a holistic approach that integrates evidence-based techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and meditation. Additionally, he offers ketamine-assisted therapy and psychedelic integration for those seeking alternative pathways to healing. Believing in a mind-body approach, he tailors therapy to each individual, recognizing that no two people—or healing journeys—are the same. Whether working with those who have struggled with longstanding emotional burdens or those encountering trauma’s impact for the first time, Elliott provides a compassionate and skilled space for deep transformation.

Message to clients

You don’t have to carry your pain alone. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection, know that healing is possible. Therapy is not about simply "moving on"—it’s about learning to move through, to process, and to rediscover yourself on the other side. Whether you’ve tried therapy before or this is your first time seeking support, my role is to walk alongside you, offering tools and insight tailored to your unique experience. Together, we will work to ease the burdens of trauma and move toward a place of greater peace, self-acceptance, and clarity. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, but I truly believe that within each of us lies the capacity to heal. It would be an honor to help you uncover yours.

Peer review

Elliot is a wonderful therapist and human being. He is a kind, non-judgmental therapist that uses compassion, humor, conversation, experiences, and an impressive skill-set to help his clients. I have always admired his drive to learn, grow and get more training/certifications in his field.

—Rochel Horowitz, LMHC
Peer review

Elliot is a thoughtful, caring, and intelligent therapist. He has a refreshingly independent way of thinking and is deeply genuine. Those, to me, are of the most valuable qualities in a therapist.

—Yehuda Abadi, LMHC
Peer review

Elliot is your ideal therapist. He is caring, understanding and clinically knowledgeable; and more importantly has the ability to hold space for his clients to develop an inner understanding of self. I highly recommend Elliot as a therapist.
