Socorro Elias

My communication style

I use positive language to create an emotionally safe environment where you feel accepted and supported. I tell clients, “I am the vehicle, and you are holding the steering wheel,” because your sessions are your safe space where I provide support while you lead how you want to spend your time.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted work that felt meaningful, not just a paycheck. My own childhood experiences with trauma drew me to social work, and through my own therapy, I realized I wanted to help children and families the way I wished I'd been helped.

My goals for you

We collaborate to set short- and long-term goals based on what matters most to you, and we work together toward achieving them.

Our first session

We'll cover confidentiality, discuss what brings you to therapy, complete an evaluation, and establish goals together. We'll also explore coping skills that can support you.
