Hello, I'm Patrick Elzey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Indiana with over 20+ years of dedicated service in the mental health field. My expertise covers a broad spectrum, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, trauma, psychosis, mood disorders, anger management, substance abuse, adjustment difficulties, parenting challenges, career aspirations, and ADHD concerns.
In my practice, I adopt a warm and interactive therapeutic style, rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I firmly believe in tailoring treatment to fit individual needs, rejecting any form of stigmatization. Drawing from a diverse therapeutic toolkit, I integrate approaches such as Strengths-based Therapy, Psychological Positive Therapy, Cognitive-behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Problem-solving Therapy, Task-centered Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Rational-emotive Therapy, Existential Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, and Person-centered Therapy.
Taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and I commend you for considering this journey. If you're ready to embark on this path, I'm here to provide steadfast support and empowerment.
I look forward to working with you soon.
Warm regards,
Patrick Elzey, MSW, LCSW

Patrick has been a huge support in my mental health journey and he has provided me additional tools and insight that I might otherwise never had considered. He challenges me to think outside my comfort zone which at times is needed to grow. He is compassionate and always meets me where I am the day of session so I never feel pressured or rushed or wrong which I have in the past with other therapist. He is genuine and he brings himself to session and not just the textbook answer. I look forward to growing as we continue together on working on my mental health goals.

Patrick is very patient and calm . He seems knowledgeable and eager to help me get to the root of my problems with a healthy balance of venting and discussing self help tools.
