Good therapy helps promote clarity and progress toward change. I believe that therapy can provide the safety needed for self-exploration and for support in times of stress. And I believe that this safety is created through a trusting therapeutic alliance, which I rely heavily on in my practice. As a clinical social worker, I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults who have a broad range of reasons for seeking therapy - these may include anxiety, depression, family conflict, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, trauma, and loss.

Stressed? Tired? Can’t seem to get ahead? Don't like yourself? Finding that sense of security and strength in the midst of changes, challenges, and relationships is difficult, and some feel that taking time to stop and reflect is impossible; yet often it is one of the most important steps in moving forward or getting unstuck. Stopping and working with a trained therapist can help facilitate change in meaningful and impactful ways. It can also help avoid a complete life derailment. I believe that the work I do with my clients is sacred, which is why I employee some of the most up to date and clinically validated treatment techniques.

I see adult individuals and couples. I love working with couples at any stage of life - from those who are newly together to those who have been together for many years. I have worked with couples on a wide range of issues - from communication skills to betrayal recovery. With individual clients, I most often work with people who are feeling ongoing effects and symptoms of previous negative life experiences and traumas. I work to help people find balance emotionally, connection relationally, and empower them to be able to live in a way that aligns with their values.

I've spent the past 6+ years working with children, adolescents, adults, and families on a wide array of issues, including: trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, relational issues, academic problems, spirituality, sexual addiction, sexual identity, grief and loss. I tend to practice from a relational perspective, believing that true healing comes from genuine relationship and accountability with one another. I particularly enjoy working with people who have difficulty connecting with those around them and who are typically viewed as the outcasts or troublemakers. I also specialize in male sex addiction and lead a weekly group.

Hi, I am Eboni S. Long, LMFT. I thoroughly enjoy working with individuals and couples to create change in their interpersonal relationships and other areas of their lives.

While I see a variety of presenting problems, I am passionate about treating individuals and couples who have experienced trauma and infidelity.
