Elliot changed my life and I have been able to make strides healing personal trauma, family trauma, religious trauma and so many different hinderances in my life. I have been able to put the work we've done into many beautiful things and even released my first album based on the deep healing i've experienced and was able to be vulnerable with my art for the first time because of our therapy.

Been my therapist for years and I followed him here to better help. I went from insurance paying to out of pocket and I wouldn’t do that for just anyone. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!!!
