"Seeing Elle has changed my life"

I started seeing Elle in August 2021 because I wanted to address the root causes of my binge eating. Pretty soon after I started working with her, there was a lot of turmoil in my family that severely impacted by mental health and Elle became a lifeline for me.

When I was going through a dark and tumultuous time, she provided me with compassionate support, letting me feel heard and validated, and I was finally able to gain tools to help me understand and regulate my emotions and to interrupt patterns of binge eating and other harmful behaviors.

Elle has always given me a safe space and the opportunity to bring anything and everything to therapy and she is able to continuously support me on my therapy journey. I finally felt safe and stable enough to begin trauma work for something that happened to me ten years ago and I made so much progress in healing.

Seeing Elle has changed my life. With Elle, I have gained so much understanding of myself and my emotions and triggers, and how to manage them. I have so much more compassion for myself and have broken cycles of unhelpful binge eating behaviors and have healthier coping mechanisms now. I am empowered to advocate for myself, and I don’t think I would have reached this point in my life where I feel so positively about myself if I hadn’t started therapy with Elle. I have confidently moved onto a path of healing thanks to her.    

"Every session Rebecca accepts and meets me where I am at."

Working with Rebecca has genuinely helped transform my life. When I met her, I was stuck in maladaptive thinking patterns. I thought an eating disorder would serve me better than any therapist. I was unwilling to change and had no healthy coping mechanisms to turn to. 

Through my therapy with Rebecca, I have learned countless coping methods that have helped me enter recovery from anxiety, depression, OCD, and my eating disorder. I have become cognitively flexible and able to welcome change into my life. Rebecca has been my advocate when I felt I didn’t have a voice with friends, family, school, and work. She was the first therapist (after many tries) to truly make therapy entirely patient-centered. 

Every session Rebecca accepts and meets me where I am at. She provides a safe environment for all emotions and listens attentively and reassures you she is with you through every battle. Rebecca challenges distorted thoughts with warmth and genuine compassion to help remind you she is a judgment free zone. I have gained so much emotional insight into myself since working with Rebecca and have been able to see our work echo in every aspect of my life. Having Rebecca as my therapist has helped me feel confident in my own skin and see how much life has to offer. I look forward to our sessions and knowing that I always have someone in my corner. I highly recommend Rebecca for therapy!! 

"I can't stress enough how much working with Elle has helped me achieve a peace and calm that I haven't in at least 7 years."

I can wholeheartedly say that working with Elle has changed me for the better. Since we began working together, I have made drastic improvements in almost every area of my life… I had originally found Elle by searching for therapists that specialize in eating disorders to tackle my issues with food that I had never previously received help for (although having been to therapy many times in the past).

I didn’t know what to expect and was very reluctant to really dive in at first. However, Elle’s compassion, understanding and ability as a therapist made me comfortable enough to open up and begin to work on behaviors that I hadn’t ever confronted. Now, we have officially reached a year and change working together and I am proud to say that my relationship with food and my body has never been better. And in working through those issues, I was able to find help for a myriad of other problems I was experiencing. When we first began, I was stuck in a job I hated and through our time together, I quit that job and found a new job that I am utterly passionate about.

We have also made so much progress on my anxiety, depression, dating, friendships, family life, you name it! I can’t stress enough how much working with Elle has helped me achieve a peace and calm that I haven’t had in at least 7 years. I highly recommend beginning therapy with her, she is amazing!

"...I have the opportunity to process all the parts of who I am with someone I trust so much."

"Working with Elle has brought so much color back into my life. Not only have I grown more comfortable in my body, moving through the world in bright, bold colors and fun patterns, but I’ve also felt my “spark” come back in through discovering (and rediscovering!) things that bring me joy. It’s an incredible feeling to be learning, growing, and seeking new experiences as an adult, especially after a period of feeling stuck, isolated, and lost before seeking therapy.

Elle has helped me reflect on the twists and turns of my life with compassion, teaching me how to open up and be more honest about my emotions, needs, and boundaries with my partner, family, and friends. While I sometimes wish my younger self had the chance to do this work with Elle, I feel deeply grateful that we’re doing it together now, and that I have the opportunity to process all the parts of who I am with someone I trust so much.

I’m proud to turn around and reflect on how far I’ve come in the year we’ve been working together—achieving several goals we set together in our initial sessions, like setting boundaries, rebuilding friendships, and laying the foundation for a career pivot. I also feel equally grateful for the unexpected lessons Elle has helped me uncover after getting to know each other better: defining my values, learning it’s okay to not be okay, to plateau, to shake off the people-pleasing mindset that was no longer serving me, to open my mind to the possibilities in situations I once saw in black & white, and to recognize when I need to take breaks, process, and catch back up with myself.

For the first time, I feel like I truly know (and am even becoming friends with) myself. Elle has helped me rebuild my confidence, gentleness toward myself, pride in who I am, and an open, curious enthusiasm for all the unknown ups and downs ahead."

"The most fantastic therapist hands down; so so so grateful for her."

From my first conversation with Elle, I knew in my gut that she would help change my life and, of course, my relationship with food. Her combination of thoughtfulness, humor, compassion, professionalism, and open-mindedness create the perfect therapist. With Elle, I know that we can speak about anything and everything; and doing so has allowed me to progress in my recovery more than I ever expected. I started seeing Elle at my scariest, lowest point, and never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined being in such a better place mentally and physically today. 

We not only speak about recovery but all aspects of my life including identity, career, relationships, purpose, habits, etc. I have struggled in the past with trusting whether or not a therapist actually cares about me, or is just doing it because it’s their job. With Elle, she is just so genuine and empathetic I was able to trust her from the beginning. I appreciate how she remembers what I said in a previous session showing that she does care about her clients and is present during sessions. She understands so intuitively how to encourage while also not coddling. Her approach to mental health is all-encompassing as she is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I appreciate all she continues to do for me and am forever thankful for her. 

When I started seeing Elle I may not have had much hope in many things, but I kept showing up because she gave me the space to say everything that had been weighing on me for a decade. I never had that experience in the past and it was utterly transformative. The most fantastic therapist hands down; so so so grateful for her.”
