Therapy for adults, teens & Children
Helping you understand anxiety, emotional patterns, and relationships with greater clarity and self-compassion.
I’m Elana Benatar, LCSW-C, a therapist with more than 20 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children and families.
My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, attachment theory and child development to help clients better understand themselves, work through difficult experiences, and create meaningful change.
My commitment is to provide you with a nurturing environment where you can explore, heal, and grow. I strongly believe that relationship and collaboration are the strongest agents of therapeutic change, and I look forward to joining you on this shared path towards healing.
Services Offered
My work with adults is tailored to the issues and interests of each individual client. I firmly believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and that our partnership is the vehicle for healing. Together we will examine past and current experiences to gain a greater understanding of self and promote internal harmony.
Daytime appointments available.
Therapy can be a very helpful tool to support teenagers as they navigate the unique challenges and transitions of adolescence. In my work with teens, I intend to provide a safe and supportive space to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences without judgement or consequence.
My work with children at its core is both collaborative and creative. With young children, I love the process of working together to find playful ways to explore emotional challenges.
Limited afterschool availability.
With parents, I use my background in Child Development and my own experience with countless kids to decode problematic behaviors and help parents understand how to meet their children’s underlying developmental and emotional needs.
