Hello! My name is Cody Elder. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 7 years of experience in primary substance use, dual diagnosis, and primary mental health treatment. I feel the best tool in the therapeutic experience is the relationship and a strong teamwork element to therapy. I typically work with clients who are struggling with life transitions, grief, loss of sense of purpose, and needing help in building tools to allow them to discover their own capabilities.
My therapeutic approach, shaped by my sports background, focuses on strong client relationships and collaborative efforts. I specialize in CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic therapies, and I incorporate spirituality into my clinical practice.
I use a very balanced tone when approaching my clients. However, once the relationship is built, don’t be surprised if we begin to dialogue as if we are having a conversation around coffee or food. It can become very light and natural once the trust is developed.
Take the first step to help. Call or Email Cody Elder now - (619) 514-1525
