Hello, my name is Elias Ellis. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I received my Master of Social Work degree from California State University Dominguez Hills and a Bachelor of Social Work from Arkansas State University.
My approach
No person is the same, therefore; I will draw upon the vast array of different psychotherapeutic modalities in which to assist each individual client with identifying the problem and recognizing how their thoughts/emotions impact their behavioral response. My modalities include Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Seeking Safety, Family Therapy, Group Therapy, and Physical Exercise.
My focus
I am willing to see individuals and couples. My specialty lies in the field of trauma, interpersonal conflicts, adolescent development, anxiety, and depression.
My communication style
I listen closely to understand each client's unique perspective and experiences. My communication approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I tailor my language to what works best for you, aiming to create an environment of trust and openness where we can work together to support your goals and well-being.
My journey to mental healthcare
I've had the privilege of working with multiple heroic individuals who have been overwhelmed by life's stressors (trauma, grief/loss, end-of-life conditions, conflicted relationships, and loss of employment); have forgotten who they really are, and are willing to cope with subsequent trauma responses. I completed my clinical hours for licensure from May 2012 to June 2016 at Shields For Families, 11601 S. Western, Los Angeles, CA 90047.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with my clients is allow them to be open to change their pattern of behavior.
My first session with you
During our first session together I will aim to build rapport through active listening
