Elmo Painter-Edington

My name is Elmo, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner specializing in trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship problems, and coping with chronic illness.

My approach is collaborative, warm, and affirming. I love helping people remember who they are through mindfulness, playfulness, and humor. I am uniquely skilled at liberating people from the grip of shame, and compassionately supporting people that may not feel like they fit into a box. We'll talk about any modalities used so you can be an active participant in your therapy process. No matter how flawed you feel inside right now, we can help you find your way back to your unique brilliance, courageousness, aliveness, creativity, and authenticity.

Our first session will be a friendly introduction, getting to know what your hopes and goals are for therapy, as well as what does and doesn't work for you. We'll also go over your intake information - at your pace! And you'll start to learn how much of a nervous system nerd I am!
