Elyse Boud
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working in the helping field since 2015. I believe everyone deserves a safe space to talk through the challenges of life no matter how big or small. Becoming a therapist has been the greatest joy of my life. When I am not working I enjoy traveling, baking, and going to the gym.
A client I worked with sought counseling for severe anxiety that had impacted her daily life. Together we were able to identify triggering thoughts and situations, develop a level of understanding as to why she was experiencing these feelings, and practice a variety of coping skills to help her feel grounded and safe. This client went from not driving on the highway, staying at her apartment by herself, and not believing that her life could change to doing everything independently without feeling the crushing weight of fear and anxiety keeping her from living her life.
However they want it to look. I only ask that clients give me the honest feedback to help them find the best use of their session. I honor that we are all unique and have different needs. Some clients just need the space to talk ad process situations and others need ore structured activities to help create tangible change. In our work together we will find what work best for you.
The first session is just us getting to know each other. There will be questions that I have to ask in order to ensure that individual counseling is the right fit for you. We will go over all of your rights as a client and my professional obligations as a therapist. Discuss what has motivated you to seek counseling at this time and create a plan for future sessions.
Throughout life we all have our struggles. I believe that having the space and guidance of a therapist is one of the best ways to navigate everyday life without feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures. It is incredibly rewarding and amazing to be a part of this journey.
Highlights
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to feel empowered and supported throughout the process. Everyone's journey looks different and I encourage clients to create their own expectations for what they want therapy to look like. Together, we will find which coping skills align with your life in a practical way.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy & Solution-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide a non-judgmental safe environment for clients to speak openly about what has motivated them to seek counseling. I believe that each individual is the expert of their life and that in our work together we can find the right tools to reach their goals.
