Elaine Pase

Having sat in your chair myself, I know that feeling of uncertainty as you prepare for your first session. I understand. You will find me compassionate, empathetic, genuine, and nonjudgmental. You will set the pace for this endeavor. We will explore what you hope to gain, and delve into what it is that is working for you and what it’s not.

I graduated from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1982 with an MSW degree, I work with ages five through adulthood. I absolutely love my work.

After meeting with you and understanding your goals. I will create a plan that meets your individual needs. I use aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a strength-based model, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. We will work together to see what works, and adjust the plan as we embark on this journey.

Clients should leave their sessions feeling they have been understood, validated and have confidence in me to help them with their goals.
