Hi, I’m David Elliot, LCSW. As a therapist, I support individuals working through a wide range of experiences, including trauma, anxiety, identity challenges, relationship issues, and feeling stuck or disconnected. My approach centers on building a genuine connection, using authenticity, humor, and shared understanding to create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and heard. I draw from various therapeutic methods and tailor each session to your needs, always aiming to help you find what works best for you.
David Elliott, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (he, his)
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I specialize in working with clients navigating a wide range of challenges, including mistrust in relationships, OCD and PTSD symptoms, identity confusion, major life transitions, sudden loss, social anxiety, trauma histories, suicidality and self-harm, relationship struggles, low motivation, and difficulty applying coping skills. I also support individuals dealing with religious trauma, phobias, dissociation, procrastination, shyness, social isolation, and fear of rejection.
My style is rooted in a Person-Centered approach, with a strong focus on building a trusting, authentic relationship before diving into problem-solving. I bring humor, shared interests, and a down-to-earth presence into the room, aiming to create a space where clients feel genuinely safe and seen. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, always tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs.
Clients often tell me they feel deeply supported in our work together. Many share that they not only learn about coping skills but also feel empowered to integrate them into their lives in meaningful ways. Above all, I want clients to know they don’t have to face things alone.
