I have specific experience working with adults with late-diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Do you struggle with feeling misunderstood and/or lost that affects your sense of self, relationships and ability to function at your best? Do you feel exhausted, confused and frustrated by the feeling of being stuck in a feedback loop of life’s struggles that you can’t seem to break out of? Do you still have hope that things could be different? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about what their purpose is in life, or question why relationships seem to be so complicated and difficult to navigate.

Hello, I am Elia Rank. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I believe in a client-centered and client-driven approach. I believe that clients are the expert in their own lives and know what they want to accomplish in treatment but just need support in identifying new strategies to help them achieve their goals. My area of practice is individual adults 18 and over. I come from the Rogerian-Centered approach that believes unconditional positive regard is the most effective way to build and sustain therapeutic rapport, as well as trust.

When trying to navigate life stressors, we can feel as though we’re alone and overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety and stress. You may be struggling in your relationships with others and most importantly, the relationship with yourself. You may be wondering, “Why am I like this?” “How do I get through this?” Both children and adults are constantly changing and evolving through life experiences and obstacles. We will work together to explore and discover the best tools for you to fulfill your needs, wants, and goals.
