My Approach to Helping

Do you find yourself repeating the same old patterns over again? Ever feel discouraged, anxious or depressed when you've been working on an issue that feels 'stuck' and just keeps resurfacing? I've noticed that many people can intellectually understand and clearly discuss their issues but despite their insight, still find themselves repeating the same old emotions and patterns that lead to discomfort and pain. If you'd like to overcome your difficult patterns and make the changes you've been longing for, I have the tools to help. I use a variety of proven, effective 'tools', (traditional and alternative), because I have found that 'talking alone' is often not enough to heal many issues. These tools include: Talk Therapy Body Centered Psychotherapy Hypnotherapy EMDR Energy Healing Brainspotting Intuitive Guidance and Heartfelt Caring My clients experience a real feeling of positive movement, relief and lightness after most sessions. There is often a sense of magic that takes place. I work heartfully and intuitively share genuine compassion, a warm down-to earth style, as well as humor, with my clients. I am 50 plus years old and have been in practice in Boulder since 1981. My years of experience healing my own issues, as well as assisting others, have opened my heart and deepened my insight, thus enabling me to fully sense my client's experience and see clearly the most effective way to help. I would be happy to talk to you. Please phone or email to request a free 15 minute phone consultation or to schedule a session -- and start on your road to healing.

More Info About My Practice

I am very excited about a new therapeutic method I have been using, called, Brainspotting. It is extremely effective in gently and deeply accessing and healing a wide spectrum of issues. It can be used to help heal physical as well as emotional difficulties. TESTIMONIALS: WHAT CLIENTS SAY WHAT CLIENT'S SAY............. "After working with Elinor, I feel like a new person. I feel freer, happier and more confident".............. "With Elinor's help I not only worked through the most difficult period of my life, but came out with the tools and perspective to face any challenge going forward".......... "I was amazed to feel my emotions dissipate and change. I always walk away from each session feeling closer to true inner peace".......... "I have had some major physical issues over the years. Through working with Elinor, my physical symptoms have greatly minimized."......... "Therapy with Elinor is incredible. To say that it got things moving in my life, is an understatement. After sessions, surges of deep knowing came over me. And I have found a great measure of peace."........... "Elinor is a gem! The techniques she used led to resolution of my old issues, so that now I am 'free' of them."............ "I would underscore that Elinor cares deeply about her clients. That created a safe, nurturing environment where I could learn how to care deeply about myself."
