Welcome, I am so glad you are here. My name is Elsa Raynor and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Thanatologist with over 25 years of experience. I have worked with individuals during their most difficult and challenging moments and am committed to providing the highest quality of services to support you every step of the way. I offer support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, negative self-talk, anticipatory grief and grief and loss.
I believe it is important to treat everyone with dignity, respect and compassion while focusing on goals that are most important to you. The techniques I use draw from various models of psychotherapy including cognitive behavioral, strengths-based, solution-focused and client-centered. Therapy offers you a space to find healing; as well as, learn, grow, and be heard. Through therapy you will be empowered to reach your highest potential as you develop healthy coping skills.
I would be honored to accompany you on your journey as you make changes to be your best self.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
