Patricia Elias, MS, LPC

Life has a way of presenting us with unexpected challenges and often arriving at moments when we feel depleted, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. With more than 35 years of clinical experience, Patricia brings not only extensive professional expertise, but also a depth of life experience that allows her to meet clients with compassion, steadiness, and genuine understanding. She believes that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and that each person’s story, pain, and resilience deserve to be honored in their own right.

Patricia has spent her career supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult experiences, including trauma, grief, loss, and major life transitions. She recognizes that trauma and grief know no boundaries; they can affect people of any age, background, or stage of life. Her approach is grounded, thoughtful, and collaborative, creating a space where clients feel safe to explore what has been holding them captive and to gently reconnect with their own inner strength.

Through a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual, Patricia works to empower clients not only to cope, but to grow and to help them make meaning of their experiences, restore a sense of agency, and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion. She views therapy as a partnership and considers it a privilege to walk alongside those seeking healing, resilience, and renewed hope.
