Doris Elonu

My communication style

I maintain a therapeutic environment that is serene, free of judgment and bias. I partner with my patients, using evidence-based practice to determine treatment goals and interventions. Patients often feel comfortable speaking with me in such a calm and accepting environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I first realized my passion for mental healthcare while serving in the military. I recognized the gap in mental health within my community and took steps to bridge it. Since becoming a psychiatric provider, I have encountered countless opportunities to serve individuals and their families as they go through difficult times.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to identify your goals and create a personalized treatment plan. We'll use evidence-based interventions, including medication management and therapy techniques, to help you build coping strategies and make meaningful progress.

Our first session

My first session is mostly assessments, establishing therapeutic rapport, collecting data, and general instructions. I encourage questions, even if they seem simple or too difficult to explain. I would say to treat this session as the most important; usually, it will be a calm conversational event.
