Hi, I’m Elyse, the owner of A Better You, LCSW, PLLC. I know that seeking help can feel scary. It’s a big deal to be vulnerable, open, and honest about what you’ve been going through! But guess what? You don’t have to face your hardships by yourself, because I’ll be with you every step of the way. Combining my extensive training as a licensed clinical social worker with my own life experiences, I provide a uniquely empathetic approach to therapy; I care about who you are, and more importantly, who you wish to be. On the other side of your fears is the person you’ve dreamed about becoming!

I am a therapist, focused on women 's issues, who can help you bring joy, strength and tranquility into your life. I believe that all women have an enormous amount of inner strength which often gets lost as we take on the roles of mother, wife, caregiver, partner, and provider. As women , we often give so much of ourselves that our spirit and energy can get squashed leaving us feeling depressed and anxious.

I believe that life is all about experience and relationships that affect different individuals in different ways, and for different reasons. For that reason, I have an integrated and eclectic approach using relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, supportive and family psychotherapy treatment modalities to treat Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, OCD and Personality Disorders including self injurious behaviors. Treatment is individualized to the needs of each client and collaboration can be coordinated with a nutritionist, psychiatrist and physician when appropriate. I have a group therapy program for adolescents, young adults and women struggling with eating disorders, body image and self -esteem issues.

There are legos all over the floor. And none of them seem to connect anymore. You shove them into a basket, but you know you’re just delaying the inevitable. It’s time to put the pieces back together before it’s too late. She’s a good kid, but now she’s constantly overwhelmed and goes from bubbly to upset in 60 seconds flat. Too much screen time, but it’s the only time she’s content. You worry for her, her future, and your relationship. You’re afraid of being a “bad mom.” It wasn’t supposed to be like this. You read all the parenting books. You’ve tried everything from punishment to outright bribery, but nothing works. Now what?
