Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome to my practice! My name is Elisa Lederer and I have over 18 years of experience providing individual psychotherapy services to adults, teens and children.

My approach is client centered, strengths based and trauma informed. Theoretical frameworks that inform my work include CBT, IFS, family systems and psychoanalytic. I am a big believer in human resilience. My approach is a collaborative one built on respect, openness and curiosity.

My approach to therapy

When you step into our therapeutic space, you can expect a non-judgmental and confidential environment where your story is honored. I believe that healing is a holistic journey that encompasses not only the mind, but the body and spirit as well. Through compassionate listening and collaborative exploration, we will work together to uncover the layers of your experience, identify patterns, and develop strategies to cultivate self-compassion, self-regulation, and meaningful growth.

What you can expect from me

The Human capacity to heal and grow continues to leave me in awe. My greatest joy as a clinician is being invited to participate in the healing process and the honor of bearing witness to the possibilities and potentials that come with self-awareness and acceptance. As you gain insights into yourself and learn to employ tools you learn in therapy, you feel feel confident, empowered and at peace.
