"Therapy is a corrective experience."
​
Elissa is a highly dedicated therapist with a strong background in mental health conditions of all ages in the Staten Island communities, such as Youth Prevention programs, addictions, anger management therapy, and Anxiety reduction therapy. Her career has allowed her to develop robust resources with RUMCSI, SIUH, and other agencies, to support the people in the community in getting the best care.  Private Practice has granted her the flexibility to utilize those disciplines and techniques of practical, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, mindful therapy with all Staten Island residents who seek to devote some time to themselves and grow into self-directed, edited versions of themselves.
