Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Elsie DaCruz, LMHC.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating life's challenges. With over three years of experience, I provide a compassionate and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, relationships, and personal growth.

I earned my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nyack College, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based therapeutic practices. My approach is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to tailor sessions to each client's unique needs.

For clients interested in incorporating their Christian faith into therapy, I offer faith-based counseling that aligns with their spiritual beliefs. This integration allows for a holistic approach to healing, addressing both psychological and spiritual aspects of well-being.

I believe in the power of open communication and active listening, and I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard and validated. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or seeking personal development, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Let's work together to navigate your path forward.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining evidence-based practices with a client-centered philosophy to support individuals and couples on their unique journeys toward healing and growth. My goal is to empower clients by providing tools and insights that facilitate personal growth, improved relationships, and overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

Through our work, you'll gain deeper self-awareness and confidence, empowering you to make informed decisions and foster healthier relationships.

Our goal is to equip you with the insights and skills necessary for lasting positive change, both during our sessions and beyond.
