Elisabeth Lucien

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. in Sociology, bridging clinical practice and research. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, life transitions, racial/ethnic identity and relational challenges, and burnout, with a focus on college students, young adults, Black women, and other people of color. Using a relational approach to therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to embrace your authentic self. My goal is to help you move through your experiences with clarity and a deeper connection to who you truly are.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your lived experience. I follow your lead, drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities to meet you where you are in ways that feel both practical and meaningful. Together, we will work to reconnect you with the strengths already within you while building new coping strategies that support your growth. Between sessions, I often offer homework to help you continue your process outside of therapy in ways that are real and applicable to your everyday life.

Our first session is really just about getting to know each other. I want to hear what brought you here, what has been weighing on you, and what you are hoping to get out of this experience. There is no pressure to have it all figured out or to show up any particular way, just come exactly as you are. Together, we will begin to get a sense of what you want to work toward and how I can support you on that journey. My only goal for our first session is that you leave feeling heard.
