Therapists in Financial District, San Francisco, CA
I believe in walking alongside individuals through their life experiences in a non-judgmental way, especially those processing past traumas to achieve a more fulfilling life. People are not defined by their circumstances and do not need to live self-punishing lives. Personal insight and growth are strengths that enhance relationships. Working with people is my passion, and I believe your past does not define your future. Therapy provides a space to be vulnerable and explore fears and difficult emotions you may not feel comfortable sharing with family and friends.

LIFE CAN BE TOUGH. Who has your back? Are you bored in your life or career? Do you feel alone and lonely, despite that you love your partner and your two adorable kids? Are you the last single one left in your group and are questioning if you will ever meet the love of your life? Do you feel misunderstood, not good enough, scared? Are you escaping your feelings with drugs and alcohol, elaborate vacations, shopping, work? What plays out in your personal life plays out in your work life, causing stress, depression and anxiety. I also executive coach CEOs and entrepreneurs, as well as being a team facilitator for corporate change

When we hold layers of unprocessed experience and emotions, life can feel very constricted. Often we're not even aware that's what's going on. We just feel stuck, and things have a way of feeling like an uphill struggle. That's because the accumulation of stress and overwhelming experiences in our life and relationships can create a new normal that is far removed from who we really are. It becomes harder to connect with our strengths, dreams, aliveness and power.

Adulting and parenting; the struggle is REAL. You feel like you should have it all together but feel that you are overwhelmed, falling behind and not enough. Family, friendship and intimate partner relationships can be challenging. Career burnout and perfectionism can make it difficult to find a sustained sense of accomplishment, acceptance and joy. Parenting/caregiving is a rollercoaster of emotions, the ultimate balancing act and not showing up the way you want. Transitions are hard and navigating your 20s-30s is more stressful and rocky than you expected. You are surviving, not thriving. Change is possible.

What do you want to accomplish in therapy? A lot of people want to have less of something: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship conflict, and so forth. This is understandable. When things hurt us and get in our way, even if those things come from inside us, it’s very reasonable to want them to go away. But what if making thing go away has been the problem all along? Can you remember a time in your life when you felt strong, resilient, and resourceful? During this time, was your life free from problems? I’m guessing not. But you were probably were moving your feet in the direction of things that mattered to you at the time.

Are you on a Spiritual path and seeking enlightenment? Do you find there are some recurrent patterns in your life that cause you to feel anxious, less than, and/or depressed? Is your life ruled by should(s) and shouldn't(s), instead of the peace and ease of this moment? The calling to a spiritual path and meditation practices can and do help to feel more calm, but as you are finding it alone can not bring the sense of wellbeing and an end to suffering.

Hello, my name is Ellen Suski, I go by Elly. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have been working in the mental health field for almost 9 years and providing therapy for about 5 years. I have experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety, and ADHD as well as concerns around interpersonal relationships and stress management (related to work, school, family, and friends). My approach to therapy includes allowing the client to guide the direction of each session. I choose this approach as I do not like my clients to feel forced to speak on a topic or area in their life that they aren’t comfortable with yet.

At the end of the day, I want you to see that you can figure out your issues so my focus will be to elicit your strengths and demonstrate that you can eventually do this on your own. Investing your time in therapy is a huge step and a challenging one, especially not knowing what to expect from therapy. My approach to therapy is a person-centered one, where you are the pilot in this journey. I am not the expert here as you are the only expert in your life. My role here is to help guide and support you as you move forward with your journey, like a co-pilot.

I specialize in helping clients develop practical tools for an improved lifestyle and create a safe space for sharing their experiences. My clients often appreciate this environment, which allows us to explore the tools they currently use and figure out which ones work best for them, as well as those that may need updating. I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic lens, believing that our thoughts are connected to our behavior, mood, and engagement in life—whether in school, work, or relationships—making a healthier mindset key to transformation.

I typically work best with clients that have a high degree of self-agency and are in a career building or sustaining phase of life. I enjoy working with clients that enjoy a challenge from their therapist to grow and improve from visit to visit.

How do you maintain a grounded, heartfelt approach to your life as you navigate the complexity of the moment? Anxiety, insomnia, depression, and looping thoughts are all expressions of being overwhelmed without the tools you need to effectively address the stressors you are currently facing. Meeting with a therapist can be a place to let out the exquisite scream of humanity, without needing to wonder-as you might with partners and friends-is now a good time? Do they have the bandwidth to receive me in my rawest form? Therapy is a place where the rawness, confusion, grief and fear are all welcome.

I particularly enjoy working on men's issues. I approach my work as a mental health professional from a humanistic and client-centered perspective. I believe that rapport and trust are essential to an effective therapeutic relationship. I believe it is my role to help clients establish goals and stay on target in meeting them. This sometimes involves a more directive style of therapy. My experience ranges from community mental health, residential treatment, and private practice.
