Ever feel like you're just aren't 'good enough'? Want peace of mind? Are you wrestling with a decision? Are you ready to be heard and seen? Allow me to hold space for you to define goals and direction for the life you were created to live? Are you a believer interested in faith affirming talk therapy? Hi I’m Elida Stewart, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist but you might also call me a mirror, accountability partner, sounding board or listening support. I would be honored to work with you to unpack the experiences that have made you uniquely and wonderfully made and to process old messages that no longer serve you.
I help people who want to live a productive, joyful life but struggle with loneliness, aging, losing purpose or identity and feeling forgotten. I am a Brainspotting practitioner, trained in EMDR which are useful for processing past trauma. I use ERP for the treatment of OCD, but also help with anxiety and depression symptoms using positive psychology.
I know, from my own path to wellness, that you can feel comfortable in your body, increase self-awareness to decrease negative self-talk, and start to enjoy your relationships again. I believe that the courageous will change the world. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation today.

I work with women who may be struggling with anxiety or depression related to interpersonal relationships issues. Sessions are collaborative in nature as we create a plan for addressing ways to help you discover innate strengths and build confidence. Most clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often utilize Positive Psychology to help my clients access their inherent strengths. In sessions we will combine Positive Psychology with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which explores how thoughts, feelings, and behavior, affect emotions and we'll test these against reality. I'll help you peel back the layers to understand the root of your personal distress. I am trained in Brain Spotting too!
