My multicultural approach reflects my passion for serving clients of marginalized groups.

My name is Priyanka Elias and I have been working with individuals and families for 8 years. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors. Your treatment will be tailored to your needs and we will work together on identifying attainable goals.

I work broadly with young adults who often have bicultural backgrounds and are experiencing personal issues with themselves, family or relationships. It is a difficult balancing act between you, those close to you and differing cultural norms. Finding autonomy when the expectations of others sometimes burdens us, can lead to feeling anxious, alone or depressed. You can lose yourself to these feelings at times, which is why 1-on-1 therapy is a healthy approach to process these emotions.Family and friends may suggest or want vastly different things than you. In therapy, I will listen while giving you the tools you need for your goals.

I specialize in working with queer and trans people of color in transformational moments in your life that might promote feeling stuck that might manifest as anxiety, depression, and how different identities that we hold play a role influencing how grounded we feel in navigating through it all.

Anything important for you to bring into the space will be welcome.

I completed a 4 year post graduate program at the "Ackerman Institute for the Family", specializing my work in couples and family work. During my years of work and training, I was able to see a wide range of clients including children, adolescents and adults using several treatment modalities.

Are you struggling with feelings of sadness or anxiety, or finding it hard to concentrate, be motivated, and enjoy the things you once did? Perhaps you are feeling lonely in life and want to increase your self-confidence. Maybe you're experiencing difficulties in your relationships with a significant other or family member, and want the relationship to be better but feel stuck right now. Or perhaps you're simply stressed by life and the many challenges that it may bring. Any of these issues will be difficult to navigate without the proper support, understanding, empathy, and guidance by a trained mental health professional.

By identifying your personal goals, strengths and implementing coping strategies, I will help you gain the control back and move forward.

I keep an open mind, I am flexible and I am a good listener. I like to take all theories into account and apply them to one particular person. I do not believe in formulas, each individual is unique and deserves a unique understanding. I also like to have a plan of action that I discuss with my client in the beginning of treatment. Clients have told me that they have gained better understanding of their dynamics and developed stronger sense of self after treatment.

As a South Asian TCK psychotherapist who grew up in both the US and Europe, I deeply understand the complexities of adapting to new cultures while holding onto the core values that form an integral part of our identities. Navigating life's transitions often leaves us without time to process the shifts in our emotional world. My primary mission in therapy is to guide you in exploring and resolving pent up feelings with compassionate awareness and care. Our sessions will be a collaborative exploration of tough emotional experiences, in a space that is safe and connected.

My patients come to treatment to open up repressed parts of themselves. Sometimes, my patients are struggling to integrate family backgrounds, religious,or cultural with their lives today. They have often succeeded in their professional lives but feel stuck in their romantic or interpersonal lives.My patients usually bring a curiosity about how their history effects their present lives.They are interested in engaging in a treatment which examines this closely in order to understand why they are feeling blocked and to open up a greater sense of inner freedom in order to live more meaningful and fuller lives.
