Elisa Helm, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elisa!

I provide world-class care to clients worldwide. My approach is multicultural, service member lifestyle-informed, and trauma-informed.

My focus

I work with individuals to address issues related to aging, depression, and stress management.

My approach

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and brief intervention therapy to treat concerns from daily stressors to severe mental illness. My modalities include Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT), culturally sensitive counseling, Christian counseling, the Gottman Method, trauma-focused therapy, strength-based approaches, and coaching.

My communication style

I believe in open, direct communication that meets your individual needs. My multicultural and trauma-informed approach means I adapt my communication style to what works best for you. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

I provide comprehensive mental health services.

My goals for you

I partner with you to identify your goals and develop practical strategies that fit your life. We'll work together at your pace, building on your strengths and addressing challenges as they arise.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. This is your time to ask questions and see if we're a good fit.
