Elana Blumenthal, Licensed Clinical Social Worker- Psychotherapy Privilege, PsyA

I have been working as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist for over 25 years. I have a wide variety of experience in different diagnostic categories as well as expertise in common social and environmental difficulties that many people face. In working with clients, I generally use a psychodynamic approach. As such, I provide a warm and accepting atmosphere and help people start to better understand themselves. Through this ongoing awareness of self, clients are better able to bring certain unconscious motivations and behaviors to the surface and better understand their repetitions and patterns. Many clients feel great relief in getting to know themselves better in this way, and are often then better equipped to take on the difficulties and vagaries of life.
