Elaine Ahmad
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I believe that counseling can help people to become the best version of themselves in terms of their personal, professional, and relationship goals.
I believe open, honest communication is crucial in building a strong therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a warm, calming, empathic therapeutic environment and welcome both tears and laughter along the way. I believe that counseling can help people to become the best version of themselves in terms of their personal, professional, and relationship goals. Every client is different so I want to tailor my approach to each client's specific needs and goals. I have spent the majority of my career working with adults dealing with a variety of personal issues.
