Elise Loprieno, LMFT reporting for duty! I believe Play is an antidote to perfectionism, and my favorite intervention is something I call "exposure to compliments" which helps to build a sense of safety in the practice of being kind & gentle with ourselves. Self-compassion (or lack thereof) is often at the root of many other struggles in the mental wellness realm. By working in a trauma-informed way to heal the roots of your metaphorical plant, we can make a much bigger impact on creating a more easeful daily lived experience for you with much less time and effort than other more specific approaches.

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of CA. I have experience working with children, families, and older adults. Throughout the years, I have found my passion working with women and older adults. Whatever brings you on your search for a therapist, whether it be trauma or loss, you don't have to walk through it alone. The biggest influence on my therapy practice is my own experience in therapy. Going to therapy is hard work (not to mention expensive!) - but I saw measurable differences in myself. This is data I draw upon when I say that change is always possible.

Depending on the client that I am treating, this will determine what our sessions will look like. I am here to help you meet your needs while challenging you to be the best version of you! This may look like us digging into childhood trauma, exploring underlying anger issues, or discussing how to better manage your anxiety. My approach to therapy includes using interventions from Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems Theory, and Psychodynamic Theory. When I am not doing therapy, I am most likely playing with my Beagle, Phoebe, watching my beloved Philadelphia sports teams, reading thriller novels, or cooking a new meal.
