I’m Lella Still, a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience, much of it in inpatient psychiatry and clinical administration. That blend of experience has shaped me into a therapist who is steady, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of each person’s story. It feels meaningful to be trusted with someone’s vulnerable moments, and I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel safe, and begin reconnecting with your own strength and clarity.
My approach is supportive, grounded, and collaborative. I offer telehealth-only care, and I aim to make that space feel calm, personal, and genuinely useful to your day-to-day life. With a background that includes both direct clinical work and years in high-acuity settings, I pay attention to the emotional weight you’re carrying while also helping you think through practical next steps. My hope is that our work helps you feel more steady, more self-aware, and more confident in how you move through the hard parts of life.
We’ll begin by turning down the outside noise and focusing on what feels heaviest for you right now. My goal in that first conversation is to create a space that feels approachable, respectful, and centered on what matters most to you.
In our first sessions, we'll explore questions like: What would healing or progress look like for you? What is bothering you the most? What changes would you hope to see in your life? These conversations help guide our work together and ensure therapy is focused on what matters most to you.
