About Elaine
Hello, my name is Elaine and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin. I have over 25 years of experience working as a counselor and practicing psychotherapy. I have worked in Public and private hospitals and small agencies. My work has always focused on mental health. Clients' have carried diagnoses of depression/anxiety, as well as Bi-polar disorders and Schizophrenias. In addition I have counseled the elderly and physically disabled. But, I don't see people as labels. We all experience challenges in our life, and learning or re-learning new coping skills is what I like to do. I would love to work with you, and watch you take back your life. I am an open and non-judgmental person. Clients' tell me I have a calming effect on them. I have studied a variety of therapies including but not limited to; Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Humanistic, and Brief Family Therapy. I have incorporated this learning into my practice, which I call eclectic. At its best, therapy has to do with the relationship between the therapist and the client. It is an evolving relationship that develops trust, compassion, empathy, honesty and respect. This creates a safe place where positive changes can happen. Therapy does not have to be heavy. Sometimes I laugh with my clients. I will however, never laugh at you, but I will always laugh with you. I look forward to working with you. Read more Show less
